Taking my PC to Lan pretty soon and need a nice, cheap, "small" case to ease transport

[Kiez]

My mobo is ATX so already that rules out 90% of the small case market however my current Zalman is just far too big and bulky. I was looking for something to use that is still nice just encase I either keep using it once I come back home or end up travelling with it alot more. Buying from the UK so GBP links would be preferable. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Cooler Master HAF XB is pretty portable for a atx case and it has handles.

Corsair C70. I know it's a big case, but it's miles better than a HAF XB and it too has handles. If your Zalman is by any chance a Zalman Z11+, it's more narrow than one of those. I would know, I have both.

Cooler Master Storm Scout 2 or Corsair C70 because they have handles and solid construction around those handle, HAF XB isn't a great option for LAN parties because it's large footprint

+1 for this

 

OP: personally I would go with the HAF XB since although it has a large foorprint you can just place it under the desk or on the floor somewhere. The C70 is though another good option  

 

Just remember: It is a lot more expensive then the C70 most places.

C70, handles, and one of the smaller ATX cases

I support the Cooler Master HAF XB, the way the mobo is positioned will remove all the stress caused by the weight of your CPU cooler, and the sag of the graphics cards.

Man this forum is awesome, replies so quick haha like the look of both the c70 and the HAF but wouldnt the cooling on the HAF be alot worse?

I've had the XB. The only real downsides are the footprint, and the noise. It's pretty open, which allows for a LOT of noise to get out. But, it's a lot easier to work in, a lot easier to move, and a lot less childish looking. Really, they'll both be fine, but I'd go with the XB.

I would agree with the Cooler Master HAF XB. It's probably the best portable tower for the money. Now if you want something mini-ITX then you're going to open up to some other options which are smaller and cheaper.
