Lanboy is very small (about same size as dell dimension box), I like this better.

If you are looking for...
A well built case...
That can travel...
With a Quality power supply...
for around a hundred bucks...

It is an excellent choice.

It does not have exceptional expandability and you have to be careful about airflow within the case - don't plan on any SCSI RAID Arrays internally.
The Power Supply is good but not enough for serious overclockers. Of course you won't be putting four hard drives in it either.

The door is good if you don't want to see drives that don't match the color.

Waste of money. Its looks to be a 2600, but with 50 extra watts and a window I like the 3700 better...though you'll have to put your own window in to impress the 13-16 year old crowd.

windows are too much hassle i think, with all the neat wireing and cleaning

you mean the 2600AMB. that is not an aluminum case. the lanboy is all aluminum, and extremely LIGHT, otherwise they look almost identical

friend o mine just picked this case up, and it's pretty cool. really light, only real complain is the way the 5.25 drives bays are set up. you use the sliding guide on one side, and screw on the other side, but the sliding rail/guide is pretty shotty. other wise it's a cool case to travel with. you'll also need a new blue lighting system as the blue led PS is cool, but is not all that bright. (if yer into stuff like that anyway.)

the local BB seems to be on of the better places to pick it up as it runs around 100+tax, but no shipping to deal w/ imo

The case is small, light, highly portable, and attractive. The power supply is good, but not the best one Antec makes by a long shot. It is good for a relatively simple machine, but if you want to stuff a million toys in a box, you'll want a bigger box. I would not be afraid to try at least mild overclocking with an aluminum box like this one.
