Not keen on the orange, but this is a very nice case. I got the black / white version for my most recent build and can't really fault it.
Larger graphics cards - I don't have the measurements to hand, but anything longer than an MSI GTX 970 - will need a hard drive bay removing to fit, which means you lose out on space for three 3.5" drives. Even then you can still fit two 3.5" HDDs and two 2.5" though.

The part number listed (EN52612) seems to be for the Lite version.
Looking at the specs on Aerocool's site, the difference seems to be that the Lite doesn't have the removable 3.5" bays: http://www.aerocool.com.tw/en/chssis/ds/ds200

I use the DS Cube and it's a really good case. Would definitely buy from them again if I needed another case.

Anyway, managed to find it: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aerocool-DS-200-Orange-Gaming-Case-Noise-Dampening-2-x-USB3-EN52612-/371622247575?

This is an ATX case. I agree if you go ITX the prodigy is a good choice but two very different cases
