BitFenix was the pioneer of turning the ITX chassis into more than just another low form factor. In 2012, it launched the Prodigy, ruffling the feathers of the purists with a quirky, graceful, willowy box, far bigger than anyone had seen before, and packing a huge 230mm fan in the front. The Portal takes that innovative pedigree and crams it into a new style of chassis unlike anything else. A convex roof adorns the top, ready to show off the heart of any gaming system, while the small form factor and outlandish design make it look like something from Alien, or indeed Portal. Combine that with its sliding rail internal mechanism, to allow for easy construction and tinkering, and what you’re left with is a chassis that takes innovation and case design to new heights, without necessarily breaking the bank.
