It looks like it's got the same space as the venerable Lian Li PC-Q25B at a budget price. Granted even the Lian Li can be had at $80 during a good sale, but that's the Phenom's everyday price.

 

Pros:

cheap

better PSU layout than PC-Q25B

there's a micro-ATX variant

 

Cons:

not hot swap

plastic rather than aluminum

not as serviceable as PC-Q25B

slightly larger than PC-Q25B

 

Hmmm... Ok, so maybe it wasn't just announced, but it's now available for pre-order from newegg if that's your thing.

It's not a "pre-order" at Newegg -- they're available and shipping.

 

While the carrying handles are an interesting addition, I still very much prefer the Q25B => aluminum is a far better heat transfer material;  the hot-swap cages are VERY handy (I never actually "hot-swap", but the simplicity of removing/replacing drives is really nice); the cooling fan for the hard drives is 36% larger;  and I'm not at all sure about a horizontal mounting of the motherboard -- directly over the power supply.

 

It showed me they would ship next month. Anyway, the Bitfenix Prodigy has the same basic board/PSU layout, and it's worked for all those users. That one gets top marks (even though I think it's uglier than sin).

 

I still prefer the PC-Q25B, but it's always good to have options.

The Bitfenix Prodigy has been available for a while, however the Phenom is a new case for Bitfenix and is most definitely only available for preorder.  Then there is the micro-ATX version of both, designated with the "M" moniker.  The new cases will be available here in Australia on the 1st October.

I can vouch for the cooling performance of the Prodigy at least, as I have my gaming rig in one.  It has a 6990 in it, which is one of the hotter video cards around, and the stock fans, with an additional 120mm up front, cools everything quite well.

 

I've preordered a Prodigy M (I quite like the look myself ) as I want to move my gaming rig into that so there is more room for the aftermarket cooler that I want to add to the 6990, which will reduce the noise from the stock cooler significantly.

 

Anyway, all of that's fairly irrelevant to an unRAID build, however I hope it's some helpful information regardless.
