Cooler Master HAF XB EVO?

i might take that it looks alright and easy to hold

 

something with a handle.

 

no matter how big or small a case it, it'll be massively more easy to handle if it was made to "handle"

and i meant as in yes an handle if possible and a bit light weight and just overall small i guess sorry for not bein able to be more detaild

I got an Asrock M8 for this reason. It's mini-itx and has built in handles and is roughly the size of an xbox one just slightly larger.

Sure.. that's the reason ;) 

 

Thought about getting this case for a LAN build too tbh..

It's great other than heat. I wear headphones so noise just doesn't bother me, I just crank the fans up. 

Awesome! Just got a Silverstone FT05, remove the top grill, and I'll be using the handles to travel for LAN. Little large, but it fits well.

 

To make post relevant....

OP, I actually really like the FT05 for a LAN case scenario, although be warned. There is not a lot of room to cable manage, my side panel is warped a little to support the cables. That was done half-assed though, so it would likely work better with more time invested. There is also a bit of a price tag to it, but it supports my MSI R9 290X Lightning, as well as my CM Hyper 212 EVO cooler quite well.

Agreed, I love mine to pieces. This is the one to get if you can bear an ITX board.
