ive been draggin my computer back and forth a lot recently and was thinking of a new case for my new pc build in prep for sup com when it comes out

does any one know of a half decent case with carry handle ? hehe

serisouly i was thinking one on the top, ive been using the gap where two fan holes are to carry it lately and was thinking a carry handle might be a little less sharp on the old fingers

ive had a qucik google on the subject but only found some on us sites and would rather order from a uk company

anyone know of any good ones ?
 
Personally I'd say you would be better off with a small light case, perhaps a Lian Li PC7 (one of the best all round cases) or perhaps a Lian Li V600 (nice and small) and getting a lan case carrying kit. (ie some straps that go around it, can't think of the word I'm looking for)
 
hmm i like it although a bit more bling than usually go for

it contradicts its self in the review ive found it says:

"As before with our NZXT cases, the carry strap just didn't survive long enough to be useful" also it says "NZXT has even included a LAN case strap with the LEXA for easy transportation. No risking the paint job to tote this baby around!"

so did it come with two straps or one bag that has broken ?

only problem is theres no carrying it or is it that small its not really a problem ? also i was planing on craming many hard drives in there, i like my HD space hehe im a hoader of all things avi shaped
 
I'd highly recommend the Antec Super LANBOY. Although it doesn't have the handles, it should come with a carry strap. Compact, light, and rather attractive to look at. May require modifications to the drive cage if you're planning on installing an 8800gtx card though. :cool:

Either this one, or you could, if you're feeling up to it, build your system into a Shuttle or similar SFF case.

You can get some very powerful components in a small case, check my sig as an example!
 
Or any Case and those nice Heavy Duty Velcro Handle Straps from B&Q (there not a competitor are they, aint seen an xbox there yet? :rolleyes: )
Made carrying my case with watercooling aswell a hell of a lot easier lol
 
I can't really offer any case suggestions, but when I had my DFI Lanparty NFII Ultra board, it came with a carry pouch that strapped around the case and had a handle.

It also had space to store a keyboard, cables and mouse.

I didn't think much of it, until I tried strapping it around my fully laiden Antec Plusview 1000AMG :eek:

Perhaps try and get yourself one of those, as they're pretty damn strong.
 
If it was me, I'd want something small-ish, but very strong for it's weight. That definitely sounds like a PC-7+ or a V600. I have 4 HDD and 2 optical drives fitted to each of my V600's - how many drives do you need? You could get 7 in if you didn't need a floppy drive.

ohhhhhh i like it hehehe v good suggestion im defo tempted by that exactly what i was thinking about and i can get loads of drive sin there using caddies

v600 does look nice and i do like the idea of smallness but theres a comfotable feeling about a large case, kinda like when i get my lovely shiny new components, and they actualy fit hehe
