It’s been a long time since Bitfenix iterated on their popular mini-ITX Prodigy, a case that helped jump-start the popularity of full-blown performance mini-ITX machines. Half a decade, believe it or not. After a line of micro-ATX and ATX releases, Bitfenix finally turned their attention back to the mini-ITX category. In March of 2017, Bitfenix released an aluminum-clad premium enclosure with some distinctive – yet familiar – curved lines. Has the Portal emerged from the depths of Bitfenix testing facilities to recapture the Prodigy’s former glory? As we’ll see, the Portal isn’t a replacement for the Prodigy, although it retains many of the features that made the latter popular.
Available in matte white or matte black (each with or without an acrylic window), the Bitfenix Portal utilizes a dual frame and rail system to house enough components to power most single-GPU gaming rigs. Benchmark Reviews has the opportunity to test the new Bitfenix Portal (model BFC-POT-150-WKWKK-RP) – let’s see what it can do.
We’ll take a look at building a typical gaming system inside the Bitfenix Portal. Hopefully our testing will reveal any rogue A.I.s potential pitfalls as we go. Let’s start with a closer look around the outside of the Portal.
