Hi there,

 

I am building my first computer for gaming and DJ'ing. I am looking for a small full ATX case so I can transport it easily to venues and LAN parties. I have had a look at the Cooler Master HAF XB EVO but there were reviews about it killing hard drives. If you guys could recommend any small full ATX cases with good airflow that would be great.

 

Thanks,

Benjamin

if youre djing you should seriously consider a laptop

far more convenient than a desktop+keyboard+mouse+monitor

Like Enderman said, if you're going to transport this machine, a good quality laptop may be better.

But, considering you need a desktop machine, have you considered making a M-ITX machine? There are some cases like the Sharkoon Shark Zone C10 that are very small and easy to carry around, this may be the answer for you problem...
