I currently have a gaming PC that I am wanting to use in different rooms. Usually it is in the living room, but want to also be able to switch rooms and hook it up to a ginormous projection screen in another room occasionally. Looking for something that will make switching rooms a bit easier.
Currently I have a Rosewill Thor V2 case. I love almost everything about the case *except* that it is heavy as shit with everything installed and has NO carrying handles. Since the two rooms are on opposite sides of the house and stairs are involved, a handle or something similar would be very helpful. Have thought about options where I could stream over network / Steam Link / etc but considering the distance, I would think I'd get some pretty narsty lag in terms of video and/or controls.
I can swing a higher end case but trying to avoid having to build a 2nd gaming rig especially since I would only ever be using one or the other at a time.
Curious if anyone has suggestions on an alternate case that would meet these criteria:
- Full tower ATX with decent build quality
- Solid carrying handle (should be able to pick up solely by handle with all components installed... don't want those shitty plastic handles I've seen on a few cases)
- Room for a lot of HDD's... and nothing with those cheap plastic hard drive clips like the XClio cases used to (still?) have. I've used those before and really really hate cheap crappy plastic parts that can break easily (as a matter of principle). I prefer metal mounts that attach to the bottom of the drive, but basically anything that you use screws with will work.
- Enough room for water-cooling radiator.
Was considering the CoolerMaster Storm series cases (Trooper/Stryker) but it looked like they might use those plastic clips that I hate. Can anyone confirm? Other options?
Failing suggestions for a new case, would anybody be aware of any aftermarket / case mods / DIY solutions for adding carrying handles to my current case? I tried googling but wasn't finding anything readily available (or maybe my google fu is lacking today).
Current system:
- Rosewill Thor v2
