Before I start my rant let me say that I do in fact like the case, however as with most cases I question of the design aspects.
1. Why does the Prodigy in black have a fully vented front panel whereas the white one is solid? This makes front mounting a radiator or any fan(s) in a white one is pointless due to barely any room to breathe. Also why do the mounting holes not line up for a 230mm fan or the two 200mm fans I own, granted all 3 fans are not made by Bitfenix but one would have expected the holes to be universal.
2. Could the power switch not have been installed on the top somewhere? With the power switch on the right side and the vent for the GPU on the left, the case cannot be positioned close to anything else. Top mounting it would also enable neater organisation of the wiring.
3. On some cases they now put an extra PCI slots in for installing things like PCI fan controllers, light switching panels and so on, why didn’t they put one of these extra slots on the opposite side to the GPU slots, there is certainly space for such and given the lack of space for extras it would have been a great addition.
4. Why restrict the PSU length so much? Anyone can see there are many other options for mounting hard drives which would have allowed the PSU case to be longer.

). It's a beautiful unit. Really hope I won't have to do any modding to get it to fit though.
