What is the smallest and lightest case I can fit all the stuff in my sig into?

I travel between 2 houses so i'm not sure if I can carry a light pc around or not.


I was thinking of doing a briefcase mod but i am afraid of not doing it right and wrecking something :slap:

If you don't already have a PCI-E card you could get a Agp MINI-ATX mobo and a pent M or if you have a PCI-E you could get a MINI-ATX mobo and put it with a 939

in that case, get this mobo http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=241160
and put it in this case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811190003
but you might need to swap out the powersupply.
But I am not sure it is powerfull enough for your 6800gt

The Antec Super Lanboy is an ATX case and weighs about 8lbs empty. Very sturdy (ive sat on it to test) and i weigh a modest 155lbs, it didnt crush :D.

lanboy is good case if you move back and forth. Good airflow, quiet, plenty of bays. Cant beat em when theyre on special for $40 @ compusa.

bah i prefer the original LanBoy to the Super LanBoy, they weigh next to nothing, and even come with a carrying strap... To bad they are discontinued *kicks self for trashing his LanBoy*

My Super LanBoy weighs 8.5lbs empty, comes with strap, and I think look better than the orig. lanboy.

They're definentally more thought out too, and use 120MM fan's instead of ghey 80's. They are also much better constructed and have better features. I reccomend you pick one up :)

I've been in the same problem as you. I was looking at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811144161 until I realized it's ONLY micro-atx. They need to make a cube for none micro..it wont be tiny, but it wont be a full size desktop either.
