I'm planning on building a Mini-itx build and was stumped on which case I should go for. I love the Bitfenix Prodigy with it's handles, though I heard they were a bit flimsy. The Corsair 250D would be my other choice. It doesn't have handles but it's definitely the better built one.

Sadly there's not many Mini-Itx cases with handles on them that don't require an SFX PSU. I just don't want to have to spend another $60-100.

Any other suggestions?

What's your preferred budget range for the case? Is not having handles a deal breaker?

The Enthoo Evolve ITX is a superb case. I've built two systems in it, and would build others in it again if asked for a recommendation.

Also of note, the Silverstone CS01B (Has handles), Fractal design node 304 and NZXT H200i are all great cases. Each offers different versions on a theme and characteristics but they are all good choices.

To be honest, I like the look of the Bitfenix case, but I've liked the way some of their cases look before and was entirely unhappy with the cheap feel and quality of them once I had it in my hands and was building in it. Just seems like they are not as good on the solidity, materials and craftsmanship as others...

I won't really use their cases anymore unless somebody insists on it. The Shinobi, Comrade and Pandora were all disappointments to me on the three singular occasions that I used those cases.
