Lightweight Cases

[videogames101]

I was planning on building a new rig inside a antec 1200. It seems to be an amazing case, but I'm usually quite mobile with my computer, so weight might be an issue for the 1200. I want a full-tower or a large mid, but I'm looking for something really light, to many LANs for a heavy case like the 1200 me thinks.

Any suggestions?

What needs to fit inside it? Lots of light cases out there but large components aren't going to fit inside. If you can find an Antec p160 out there, that would be good size while still light. Then there is the Rocketfish like I'm selling in my FS/T thread, linked below. It is only 16 or 18 pounds net and it's HUGE. I also have a black anodized aluminum Cooler Master Mystique 631 in my thread that's reasonably light for a midTower and even more so if you leave the door at home.

I was going to mention the RF, I've got one too I will use eventually but I'll have to wait till my kid moves out, He loves it in there! It is a big case and weighs almost nothing.

I'll have a Q9450, a 4870, 4gig dominator ram, etc.

I'll check out the P160 and rocketfish, ty for responses

The Ultra m998 is one I almost bought this fall. Might be worth a look.

The Ultra m998 is nearly 20 pounds net while the RFFT weighs less and is much larger. The stainless steel mobo drawer is largely what does the m998 in for weight.
