I have looked everywhere through newegg and such and cant seem to find what im looking for. I don't need but one or 2 5.25 drive bayhs and 2 or 3 3.5bays for one ssd and 1hdd.

the main thing is that it is light weight the lightest possible that will accomadate im assuming a ATX motherboard because I want to use triple crossfire.

also a handle would be very convienent. has anyone seen a case like this or can help me find a lightweight case? dosnt have to be big im needing smallestpossable and lightest for tri crossfire

There is this one, not sure how good it is but it seems decent.

Bitfenix Survivor Black ATX Mid Tower Case

or you get any lightweight case and use this as your handle, instead of trying to find a case that is light and has a handle built in.

or maybe this with the handle?

Also, the problem with lightweight ATX cases is you sacrifice build quality to achieve that, keep this in mind. (i.e. Aluminum built which bends really easily compared to steel built which doesn't, but weights more).

That triple crossfire complicates some things, I'm not 100% sure this one can fit 3 GPUS, but it seems perfect for what you want (Mid tower).

Or you can get this full tower one, will obviously be slightly harder to lug around than the mid tower, but it will do everything you need (Full tower).

Are you sure you want/need 3 GPUS? If it's for gaming 2 is all you need, just a suggestion.

that is a beautifull case, but im not sure about the weight? I found one computer case that had a light weight of only 9.6 pounds and it would house a regular atx motherboard however it does not have a handle and I almost certainly want to get a case with a handle weight is a issue though. I appreciate the suggestion will possably keep in mind but if possible looking for the lightest case that holds a atx board and has handle

I picked ur idea as best solution. that harness to carry the computer looks like a wonderfull idea. hopefully it is adjustable to fit a small case. so far iv found 2 cases that are bout 9 or 10 lbs the one you mentioned above and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133252

I think both these can house upto 3 graphics cards. now they are bout 10lbs all in all not sure if I will find a case to much lighter then 9lbs but that prolly be alright will call and ask if that carrying strap is adjustable to fit one them smaller cases well for when traveling with a tri crossfire rig

It probably depends on the motherboard too,but with tri crossfire (which cards?) you also probably need 8 or more expansion slots,the third slot is often at the bottom of the board an with a double slot cooler are you going to need it.

I'm having a hard time to respond to that,not something you want to have.It's a hard time too because i still want to urge you to look at your priorities.
You look at the weight of the case,but want no less than three gpu's in it which are a load themselves.You need a heavy psu in that case to power those cards etc. etc.
Maybe sell your current card and get two r9 290(X)'s or equal? At least saves a card in the system->weight and maybe could you do with a smaller system.

Maybe first look at a different way to haul that pc around.Maybe some kind of cart/trolley.For 4k gaming do you need a big screen,which is heavy, too.You want to drag that around too?
Why the urge for 4k gaming? Just wondering.:)
