those "LAN Party" cases i keep seeing.

[marcoze]

i keep seeing these cases that only have one 5inch slot, and room for 1 HD. there sorta rectangular shaped. i was wandering what ppls opinions of these cases are for portability. i was thinking of picking one up and putting a ATI 9700, SB Audigy 5.1/EAX in it. and a 40 gig HD, 512 RAM.

Heat is the big problem with them. If you modded it for better airflow it would be cool. Very portable. While your at it install a nice handle on the top of it.

i saw one with built in water cooling and it looked very sleek but i didn't have time to ask how much.

A Shuttle with watercooling? HITF is that possible?

yup it was for a AMD XP processer and it had small tubes running from the processer to a rad just outside the fan on the case.

Where were the pump and reservoir?

i think it was all built into one piece fan/rad/resivor/pump

[Madblunted]

I have a Gateway Profile III it works decent for gaming nothing to extreme but my and my friends are able to game and it doesnt take up alot of room and isnt so heavy. I want to get an alienware or build my own soon...

see, the problem is, there aren't any LAN partys around here or even in my town, so I don't need a portable case, which is just as well, because the case I have isn't very heavy, and isn't to small, mind you its no mini case, but..

[Evil_Spork]

im gunna be hauling my chieftec case with water cooling in it. its gunna weigh in at about 45lbs.

My main problem with LAN parties is not the case, but the monitors. I really should invest in a nice LCD monitor.
