Posted July 19, 2014 Author Great these are solid recommendations. I'll keep them in mind. However, is there anything more geared toward a LAN party enthusiast? or maybe you guys know of case accessories that make cases more "get-up-and-go" friendly?

Posted July 19, 2014 Author the c70 is that kind of "tank" case that isn't exactly what I'm going for here. Think sexy. Think LAN.

Posted July 19, 2014 Author That's where I'm stuck. Small form factor is important to this build because she likes to move her computer around a lot but she has a full ATX mobo. I think the the Define R4 is a bit smaller than the NzXT H440, correct?

The Define R4 dimensions are (WxHxD) 232 x 464 x 523mm while the H440 dimensions are 220mm x 510mm x 475.3mm therefore they are quite similar in size imo. Hello and Welcome to LTT Forum!
