As we’ve mentioned in our review of the Prodigy M, BitFenix found a winning formula in creating compact chassis and they are not about to let that hype die down. Soon after the release of the Prodigy came the BitFenixรย Phenom,รย an chassis of smooth curves and subtle elegance.
We have the BitFenix Phenom ITX version in the labs for a closer look. Read on and see if the Phenom is just what you were looking for for your next build.
