ok so i have a little problem, i have a laptop but its not as good as my desktop that i just got a new mobo/cpu for. i go back and forth from my mom's and dad's every few days and want to bring my desktop along. right now its in this case:



(yes i know its ugly XD) i want a new case to make for better portablilty. i could go with something like an htpc case like this good one right here:

but then i would have to buy low profile cards and stuff later on. you might say "well just get a smaller case but that you can still use normal size cards in it" but then why not just go with the case i wanted b4 i formed the idea to bring it back and forth and just go with this for about the same price:

i dont know what to do would it be that bad lugging around a normal sized case like the xion? or should i go with the smaller, easier to carry around option? not to mention the fact that i might have to either buy a new heatsink/fan cuz the case is too low or cut a hole in it to accomodate the heatsink/fan i have now! what do you guys think, help me out!

EDIT: or maybe i should go with something thats full size but with a handle like this:

get a faster laptop.

What do you use the PC for at your parents'?
Gaming? Browsing? Working?

Gaming and Surfing mostly

Why dont u get a laptop?There are many good gaming laptops, what is your budget?

Try to find a lanparty case like this one (that you will like)

edit: i don't know it there are some that fits regular atx.. this one fits micro atx

yeah, a micro atx is what i need and i really wanted to not spend that much but still find a good case that would work

i was looking at cases like georgy suggested and i would like the one from this link above with a handle. they always seem to be more expensive with a handle like this, does anyone know any cheap cases like this w/ a handle?

Seriously... its a computer how hard is it to carry?! I lug around my Antec 900 which weighs a LOT, and it does not bother me.

yeah well i have to go back and forth every 3-5 days so it would kinda suck carrying that big thing around

Don't work in a granite shop anytime soon then...

You can always just put handles on it. Performance pcs sells some.
