Review: BitFenix Portal mITX chassis

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/15/2017 09:28 AM | source: | 9 comment(s)

We review the BitFenix Portal Mini ITX chassis. A small form-factor compact chassis with curved looks, high stands and something that can house even the most lengthy graphics card inside the chassis. Yes, it'll house a mere 17x17cm Mini ITX motherboard but can fit a full size double slot graphics card, but how unique of a PC case is this? Let's find out...

This was a triumph. I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

The stand on this is a complete design failure in relation to the point of a small mini-itx build.

It takes up too much desk space, making the footprint of the case unnecessarily large, as it is the damn things wider than my Mid size ATX case and would actually be harder for me to find space for it on my desk.

..other than that, very nice.

Looks pretty cool. I am really considering this for my next gaming build.

Has anyone found or does anyone know of a SFF PSU that will actually fit in there? Which make/model?

How about a list of aftermarket CPU coolers that will fit?

It would be very helpful if the case manufacturers start producing QVLs/compatibility lists for these Mini-ITX cases (like motherboard manufacturers do for memory on motherboards) so you know which coolers and PSUs will fit.

You raise a great point.

Why make something with such an efficient use of space and so small only to make it larger again in the end?

Maybe some weighted feet no wider than the width of the case itself? I'm sure that would add to the cost all the way around, but may keep the design compact?

Please my friend check the Bitfenix official website :)
When in the Portal page click Download Center and there You will see the compatibility list
