I have a phantom 410 and hate how big it is. Should i be looking for a matx or itx case and if someone could please show me the size differences between each.

I was looking at the core 1000 and the prodigy for itx

I feel like my mATX Silerstone TJ08-E is really big and I wish I had gone for a Prodigy or Cooler Master 120. The latter is much smaller than the former because the Prodigy is gigantic for an ITX case. It does support larger coolers, though, whereas smaller cases like the 120 do not. You don't have to sacrifice much performance to go with ITX because you might be able to just pick up an ITX board and move all your parts.

Personally I'd get the 120 because CPU overclocking is not very important to me, it's much, much smaller than the Prodigy, and it looks amazing to mod. As for getting an idea of the size of these cases, looking up videos helps put it into perspective.
