Portable/LAN Case

I'm looking for a good case that is portable and easy to take around. I would like something with a handle if possible. ATX and MATX are both fine. I can adjust to either. I would like to spend no more than $50. Any suggestions?

FX 6300 - MSI 7870 Ghz - M5A97 R2.0 - Team Vulcan 8GB - WD Caviar Blue 1TB - Rosewill HIVE 550w - NZXT Source 210 (white) - Loud Fans

Peripherals - Logitech G105 - Cobra mouse - Acer G236HL - Logitech desktop mic - Logitech LS21 - Audio Technica ATH-M30

Laptop - Acer Aspire V3 - A84500m - 7670m - 15.6" screen (1366x768) - 3.5GB DDR3  - 500GB Scorpio Blue

Okay, so by my definition of portable, you won't find an ATX case small enough, but Bitfenix are releasing their new prodigy which supports mATX form factors, so if I were you I'd wait and get that or go mini ITX.

Okay thanks. Have any idea when the matx prodigy will be released? I was thinking of going mitx but it is pretty hard on a very tight budget.

well a prodigy is 36 liters (mitx), a coolermaster elite 361 (atx) is 26liters but it doesn t have handles...

a core 1000 is also an option at 26liters (matx) again no handles but it s easy to move anyway.

both these cases are rly cheap tho, 30-40$ range. Prodigy should be double that.

Anything I write is just a comment, take is as such, there is no guarantees associated with anything I say.

Personally I like the prodigy with its handles, the I others you'd have to mod. I'm not sure, but if you need it now go for one of the other cases listed above.
