Pretty ricey looking. Haven't heard much about their cases, but since low quality cases outnumber good ones, the assumption is that it's el-cheapo, as is the PSU, most likely. I'd recommend a quality case. Antecs are nice because you have a few competitively priced options with included PSUs, though they're far from being the only quality manufacturer.

Hey that's pretty cool. I like the idea of a carrying case; however, if I'm going to be carrying my computer around, I want part of the case to cover the front to protect the faceplates of the drives and buttons, etc., from dings and scratches.

A friend of mine has this exact same case and I basically built his system for him. It did seem like a pretty decent case, and being able to carry it is quite useful for us (the college-student-in-the-dorms crowd). The handle and the case overall seemed to be of adequate quality.

I like Antecs, especially if you need a PSU to go with them. The Sonata and Plus1080AMG include very good TruePower PSUs. Solution series cases (like the SLK3700AMB) and the Performance II line have SmartPower PSUs. If you don't need a PSU, I think Cooler Master's Praetorian is around $100, though there are also nice Antecs that come without a PSU, like the PlusView1000AMG and P160.

I'd get an Antec LanBoy w/350W PSU from Newegg, they were $62 + shipping last time I looked at em...so about a week ago.

Now with LINK

They don't call it the Lanboy I guess, I had one of these but with the window, and it was the orignal lanboy. VERY light case but VERY sturdy. The PSU is top notch as well.

The Lanboy is fine case to own with excellent cooling. However if you need a psu included in that $100, the it is a bit out of your budget at $70

Check out the link, that's $75 shipped right there including the Antec 350W Smart Blue PSU.
