Have you thought about bed wheels?
Just unscrew them from your bed drill afew holls in ya case and presto.
You can buy them from a hardware store if u want

get some for an office chair they would look the best. I would say go to a hard ware store too. Or just stuff it in a luggage bag they usally have wheel plus you can pack you cables around in it too.

any hardware store. Wheels from an office chare is a good idea but they are kinda big.

I bought these casters for my Server, easy to install but you will need a drill holes for installation.

My local Sears/Orchard hardware store had those for about $2.50 each. I used them on my old, el-cheapo full tower case (before I dismantled that computer and put its parts in a 2600AMB.

Office Depot sells stick-on small wheels for file-cabinets.....several colors, They work excellent, no holes to drill.

i would suggest making some sort of trolley and then some way of securing the case to the trolley. permanently attached wheels make it a pain to work with the computer.

i saw some mini skate boards at a toystore once, they may work fine.

make sure whatever you get can support your computer. say, 100 - 200 lbs total, or 4 casters that can support 25 - 50 lb each.

i took a look at the wheels from directron, i do not recommend using those. i recommend a single piece wheel'd type caster if you are going that route. they even make casters out of rollerblade wheels, so it's a transparent "tread" and looks really nice.

i like the trolley ... and since my case is getting a Bart Simpson theme a skateboard mod wud be sweeet! thanks!!!

I think Addtronics sells wheel kits for their large cases, they end up sitting outside the case, aids stability. Knocking over the box while it's running can definitely kill your HDD- I've done it...

No drilling, snap on piece.

The problem with this is that everytime you want to open up the case you are going to have to remove it from tray. Very bad for some that are constantly in there case. It may be just what some people want though.

I've always wanted to slap a couple remote control car motors on my computer and put some wheels just so I could say "MY computer's FASTER than yours!" and it wouldn't matter what kind of system I had on the inside...
