ATX case stressing portability?

[imported_Shakespeare]

Hi all,
I'm building a PC to use for LAN parties. I was trying to spec out mATX 939 builds, but one of my prereqs is SLI, and the only SLI mATX 939 based items I could find were pre-built or barebones that were too expensive for my wallet.
I'm now thinking of a standard ATX 939 system. Do you have any recommendations on a case that would stress portability? I'd have dual PCI-e graphics, 1 CD or DVD drive, one 3.5" SATA drive for Programs and one 3.5" SATA data drive, cpu, memory, etc.
I'm not going to overclock, and as I stated before the more compact the better. Any cooling recommendations would also be appreciated.

TIA

Check Six,
Shakespeare

If cooling is of utmost importance to you. The go with the Delta TFB1212GHE for the front and rears. If you still want silence, then the fans that come with the case are satifactory.

Mine has wheels. Does that count? Or do you actually want to pick it up, without needing another person?

It will be carried from site to site so heavy with wheels is not what I'm looking for.

This is the case you need, the Super LanBoy above. CompUSA has them for $40 A/R often.

You don't need over 100cfm for intake and exhaust. The fan linked above would balloon
the Super LanBoy.

The Sky Hawk MSR series aluminum cases that Dealsonic and Newegg often have at low prices are around 12 pounds net. You might need to mod the cooling a bit but aluminum is easy to cut.
And the Aspire X-Sonic is based on the original LanBoy chassis. Very light, may need cooling mods too. Some find them flimsy, but could hardly be otherwise as light as it is. IAC, it fits the original LanBoy carrying straps and bags.

The case you want is the Cooler Master AMMO. I have one and it is the best case available today. Trust me.

I have a thread about it in the hot deals section and it has become quite popular. You can buy it for a very low price here.

The AMMO case is steel, so it would almost have to be heavier than the aluminum cases we're talking about.

It doesn't matter. It has a handle built into the top of it.
