Adding a carrying handle? (Need modding advice)

[LegacyStijncat]

Hello, and thanks for reading this already!

 

I'm looking into some good Micro-ATX cases. I prefer Micro-ATX as a motherboard size because it still has 4 RAM slots, 2 PCI-E x16's, but is still portable.

Now, I want to make a Micro-ATX case extra portable.

 

I'm looking into the AIR 240, Fractal Design Node 804 and the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv. Is there a relative safe way to add a carrying handle too them? And what materials should I use?

 

Yes, I am insane.

Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't risk it. They arent designed to support their weight from the top. If I had to choose one, I'd probably go for the Fractal though.

You can buy handles from your local DIY shop.

Well the air 240 could be a bit of a problem with the top panel just being held on byy two screws really but here is a shoutout to @Mnpctech 

Here are some handles!

Unfortunately all of the cases you suggested have plastic or exterior panels that "pop-off" with push tabs, so not good candidates for adding handles. Based on what you listed, and if you want to add bolt-on handles, I suggest looking at a MATX tower with steel or aluminum exterior top panel.

Here are some suggestions

Fractal Design Core 1300

Silverstone Temjin TJ08B

Cooler Master N200

Corsair 350

and Thank you for the shout out guys!

edit, we just finished making these machined billet pc case handles, http://mnpctech.com/pc-case-lan-party-gaming-carry-top-server-tower-handles/billet-grooved-handles.html

Forget carrying handles, buy a dolly
