So I think ill be getting a job soon and it seems that my friends have gotten into the habit of constant lans so I want to build a laning pc. Mostly its because my parents really dislike me even messing with the wires of my computer (even though i built it) let alone taking places. So I want to build one now my question here is what in your opinion is the best mini-itx case. I want reasons and links plus I kind of want it to look good. Just a personal preference of mine. Thanks in advance for the help

 

Edit: Okay so to give you a reference of what I like I love the 350D and the prodigy

I like ITX cases. I would have built in one but I did not have the money at that time. I like this case:http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Obsidian-250D-Mini-CC-9011047-WW/dp/B00HFRTF5W

Life is pain. Anyone who says any different is either selling something or the government.

I would say something like the prodigy from Bitfenix.

I wouldn't buy one myself, buy it's a place to start definitely.

i own one, and i have used it at lans, id recommend it, but i do suggest looking around, i have no idea what your going to load a mitx case with so yeah. I persoanly found this case to be good for me. Just need to mod the side panel so i can close it :P

Saying that you want something that looks good and that it's a personal preference of yours isn't really helpful unless you tell us what exactly you like ;)
We can't read your mind and everyones tastes are different.

 

I like the Hadron for it's compactness and the Prodigy for its handles.
