I've been looking at some lan orented  cases like the storm scout 2 from CM or the C70 from cosair. I have one question is there a better one and which should I get. I plan to watercool my CPU and GPU at a later date and would love to have a case that I could take to a friends so we can game all night. Also I plan to get a 2nd GPU but that honestly dosen't matter too much. My budget is around $100 which could change but there is some stretch room in that. Thx for the help

I think the CM Storm Scout 2 is a good choice. However you must keep in mind it only originally has support for a 240mm radiator. (I believe I can fit another in the front which I will be attempting to do in the future :) )

Don't watercool in a LAN case, just a bad idea. If you want ATX a C70/Storm Scout would probably be your best bet

 

Well I shouldn't say lan. just something I can move around to a friends if I want

 

A closed loop should be ok right? Though that's not what he's planning.

 

Do you mean not watercooling? If so no I plan to Watercool my CPU at least with like a AIO cooler.

Water cooling is quite dangerous when moving your system, because fittings easily loosen spilling out your goop onto your components.  That's why most people advice you to drain your system before transport. 

Does anyone even use PCIe SSDs?

Ok thanks for the input either way I have a decent Air cooler the CM hyper 212 evo so upgrading probably won't be needed and thanks for the advice never knew and now I do :)
