So i'm looking to build a portable gaming pc for my little brother as he goes back and forth to our parents houses every weekend. Is there a nice itx case with a carrying handle out there, or should i diy one myself(and if so what case would you suggest)? 

 

Thanks everyone!

The handles are nice- I cant say I own one but I think they give a little, does yours bend when you pick them up? When I was testing the case out the empty unit cause the handle to bend a bit and I thought, if i build in this the weight is going to kill the handles

380T is perfectly suited for him.  Just tell him to hold it like a boombox like they did in the Hardware Canucks review.
