Hello, i have a good main computer, i5 /670 gtx etc but I wanted a small mini computer to take to lan events.

The only game it will ever play is starcraft 2 and i only need it to run on low graphics without any lag on big fights since i am using it in tournys.

I go to Iseries here in uk and a rented pc is costing me £75 a time so i thought maybe i could get a cheap one sorted it will save me money in the long run.

I wont need a screen/keyboard etc its just the case and whats in it i need spec'ed. It will only ever have windows 7, skpye and starcraft 2 installed.

My main goals is cheap and light :)
One case i do like is BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX Cube Case - Arctic White but tbh i am going for cheap so i dont mind if we go for a lesser one.

I guess a low psu like 500 would be enough but again i will leave it in the hands of you guys who will know a lot more.

thanks for all the help
Pete

The Prodigy I would personally argue is not actually that portable. I have been lugging it to and from my friends house since upgrading from the case I am selling above.

Frankly, even though the cooling is better on the Prodigy - the Lian Li PCQ08 is FAR MORE transportable. I used to use the Silverstone Sugo Carry Bag with the Lian Li case making it a breeze to pack up and move from location to location. No more with the Prodigy lol its too big!
 
yeh looks a pretty good case to do it with, only real downside to that case is so limited with cpu cooler, so aslong as you not thinking to overclock

if you run it without dvd drive and just a ssd it would be light too, 3kg isnt bad at all
