Potential Mini ITX setup (Case related)

[PreOmegaZero]

I'm looking to downsize from microATX to MiniITX.

Here's the 'upgrade path' I'm looking at so far:

• Motherboard: Asus P8P67-M Pro --> ASRock Z77E-ITX
• Processor: Intel Core i7-2600K --> No Change
• Memory: 16GB Corsair Vengeance (4x4GB) --> GSkill 16GB (2x8GB)
• Video: GTX 680 (Stock cooler) --> No Change
• Storage: 512GB Crucial M4, 256GB Crucial M4, 120GB Vertex 2, 1TB Western Digital Black --> No Change
• Optical: LG Blu-Ray Burner --> Going into external 5.25" enclosure
• Power Supply: Corsair TX650 650W --> No Change (Hopefully)
• Heatsink: Corsair H50 (watercooled), Cooler Master Hyper 212+, Stock Intel HSF --> Dependent on Case
• Case: NZXT Vulcan MicroATX case --> UNKNOWN

Must Haves:

• Fit the Nvidia GTX 680
• Fit all the storage drives
• Fit 1 of the 3 Heatsinks in some form

Nice to haves:

• Fit the Corsair PSU (would rather not buy a SFX PSU)
• Fit the Corsair H50, or Cooler Master Hyper 212+ Heasink (would rather NOT use the stock Intel HSF)

The cases I'm looking at so far (In this order):

1. LIAN LI PC-Q25
   1. Pro: Fits nearly all my components, hot-swap 3.5" bays
   2. Con: Probably won't fit the Corsair H50, and won't fit the Hyper 212+ at all, No front USB 3.0 ports
2. LIAN LI PC-Q18
   1. Pro: Can fit all my 'standard size' components (including Blu-ray if I chose to), 2 segments to 3.5" Rack
   2. Con: Probably won't fit the Corsair H50, and won't fit the Hyper 212+ at all.

1. BitFenix Prodigy
   1. Pro: Price and feature set that meets every requirement.
   2. Con: Not sure I can wait nearly a month for it to be in stock.
2. LIAN LI PC-Q08
   1. Pro: Price (compared to the other Lian-Li), can fit all my 'standard size' components (including Blu-ray if I chose to), shorter than the Q18
   2. Con: Shorter space for large video cards (not by much).

If anyone can recommend something else that can fit my requirements, I'm all ears.

This looks like it should work Cool Master Elite 120

Good find. Seems to cover mostly everything except I still can't use the Corsair H50 (unless I'm missing something in the layout).
No place to actually buy it though, unless it's this (very cheap if so).

Ya there isn't any space for your watercooler but its a nice case. I think it just came out last month. MSRP is like $75 so the $49 on Newegg might be right.

At $60 ($50+$10 shipping), might just go for it and buy a Low Profile cooler (which is another topic...)

Bitfenix Prodigy is a cool ITX case. Will give you everything you have asked for.

Who actually has those Bitfenix prodigy's in stock?

NewEgg is supposed to get the White one on 7/9, Black on 7/24.
I'm probably waiting a few days for the white one.

I agree, great find! Always good to see new mini ITX cases, especially ones that aren't rebadges of other cases (Apex/Tt/Rosewill) or recycled layouts (various Lian Li).

I really liked the prodigy at first, then the case seems a little too tall. Almost like a mATX case.

So....i bought Silverstone SG07 instaed.
