Good mATX cases to bring around for LAN parties?

So I am building a new pc soon but i want it to be a small one, so i went with mATX. I want a good mATX with 240mm radiator support, and good airflow. But I also want it to be small enough so that I can bring it around for LAN parties. I have a budget for about $100-$130. Thanks!

Lan box  with handles not sure about 240 support looks nice and really sturdy. 

It supports a 240MM rad.

Just get one that suits your taste and desires, fits your budget, and most, has a strong handle in the top, something like a CM Storm Scout 2

Corsair 350D?

 

When my university has its LAN party I don't have much trouble hauling it there. It may get heavy with all the parts in it, but that's expected of any case that's fully loaded with a system in it.

LAN party? ill have to agree with madscientist56. Youll want to check out the the Bitfenix Prodigy M. If you dont like that, theres the NZXT Vulcan.

 

If youre open to case modding, then choose your favourite case and add handles to its top panel for easier carrying.

Fractal Design Arc Mini R2? It's big for a mATX but the cooling support is like holy catballs.
