I was looking around for the prices of the original lanboy on newegg and to my supriuse, it was gone. All they have is the fugly super lanboy with that nasty handle. Does anybody know what happened to the original lanboy? I loved that case, my friend has one, its small, compact and that see through window on the side is just the icing on the cake.

the pic of the super lanboy at newegg is ugly, but it looks a million times better with your own eyes. btw, the origional lanboy has the exact same handle. duh. u can take it on and off. i like the original lanboy also, but as of now, the super lanboy and the sonata are my favorite.

my friend had one of these lanboy cases and the blue illumination was just way too nice. does anybody know where you can still get one of these cases?

No, i don't want no thermaltakes. Some people might like their exotic designs but im not a big fan of that. All i want is a case that is simple, light, and most importantly small. I don't want no microatx case however, just something that can support the standard atx components. The Antec Lanboy did fit this bill but now that that's gone, im left with nothing good.

A task for you guys, can you find a case similar to the Antec Lanboy?

I'm liking that Lanboy, the specs say "Up to Standard ATX" does that mean the Standard ATX will fit?

Yep.

I got one of these by pricematching CompUSA's clearance price at CC, and CC had a rebate, so I got mine for something like $50. At the time I wanted it for the PS for a client of mine. I ended up building my AMD 64 box in it and am pretty satisfied with it. It is pretty thin aluminum so in time I think it will get dented.

The only thing that is annoying is that it only really has room for 2 HDs. You can put in a 3rd if you drill holes for it where a 2nd floppy would go. Of course by the time I realized that, everything was in the case. I'm now looking for adapters to put the 2 Raptors in 5.25" bays w/ a little extra cooling.

I'm looking to build it for my dad and it will only have a single hard drive. I just want a semi cool looking case cause I'm going to be the one bulding and playing with it.
