Hello LTT people. 

 

Is there any case like the NZXT Vulcan on the market at the moment? I'm looking for an mATX case that had a handle that would allow me to carry it around. I need this because I take the train home to spend my weekend there every week, and I wanted to have a PC that I could take with me for the weekend easily by just grabbing it by the handle and carrying it.

I could get a gaming laptop but they cost so much and the ones that don't thermal throttle are too bulky for me to use for school. So I thought I'd build the mATX PC and get some quite cheap laptop to use for school stuff, but the problem I have now is that I can't seem to find any mATX cases anywhere that had the same kind of handle as the Vulcan

is there any reason not to go mitx? what is your budget, so i can keep sizes in mind?

Th reason I don't want to go mini-ITX is because I might want to add an addon card into the computer at a later date

Well, Maybe I could work around needing a PCIe card specifically

you mean a GPU? you can have one with mini itx

i would reccomend this case if you wanted to put it into a backpack, as then it is less likely to get stolen http://silverstonetek.com/raven/products/index.php?model=RVZ02&area=en&top=C

however, this case fits what you want and can take a larger GPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112348
