Help with choosing a mobile case

gtir666 · 2 Jul 2006 at 21:28

Im not prepared to pay extorsionate amounts for a laptop that still wont be able to play games aswell as my main pc, so ive decided im gonna have a case thats sturdy and transportable, i suppose a lanparty type case is the order of the day, but be able to hold watercooling etc.

My superlanbiy is brilliant bar a couple major draw backs, its not sturdy enough, and everything is squashed in as it is with out the addition of wc.

Bonus is i got the carry handle that came with it, i could addapt that to another case.

I was hinking maybe this case would be the ticket? Lian-Li PC-V600

Any suggestions

Run quite toasty that would, better of with the PC7+ or a Eclipse 62.

Boring, solid built cases that would not show up knocks to bad.

If you take damage on the front of a V series, its game over, they don't take it well at all!

being a bit of a tart its still gotta look good, if it gets knocked it gets knocked, id hope i look after it enough not to.

Eclipse 62 but good looking?

PC7+.

Or the whole way and get the v1000+, the v600 is not really that good against the competition for less money.

OK thats the v600 out of the equation, see thats what these forums are here for lol

Does the v1000+ justify the amount of money? what i mean is ill spend as much on a case as any other component aslong as its worth it

Its worth it, lovely build, quite big but very easy to pick up and move, and put down again.

Is on wheels so can be pushed in a straight line easily.

Built well, looks gorgous and has a very good system for holding the panels on.

She does look cool, thought they were just some nice feet didnt relise they were wheels lol :eek:

Wheels means she was meant to be mobile :cool:

, the reason im looking down these lines is coz of a fear of flying i usually holiday by car so a mobilish pc will do whereas laptop excessive, if i flew id have to have lappy but never mind

As you don't like the lanboy the v1000+ is quite cool, not great for carrying long distances but you can push it.

The wheels means it is very easy to pick up and put down, its a little fat so can be hard to get your arm around it so I usually carry it infront of me then push it along.

Dont forget i still got that handle from the lanboy for carrying

I do like the lanboy, its just not suitable for high end gear or setup just coz its so cramped once youve got a few drives etc, thier is 1 inch between the back of the psu and cdrom which is a bit close for me.
