Hello! I am currently using a HAF 932 Gaming computer case. Now, this case is huge! I love the way it looks on my desk.
The only problem is that its size makes it a hassle to transport. I will be going out of town in the next couple of weeks and I really want a good case that wouldnt impede air flow, but still maintain a portable size so that I can take it without trouble.

I have looked at the Antec Skeleton, but I would only buy that as a last resort because of its price ($159 on Newegg).

My current specs are

Phenom II x4 955 on stock cooling
ASRock 890fx Deluxe 3 Motherboard (Full ATX)
Gigabyte Radeon 5850 OC graphics card
1 PCI wifi adapter
2 5.25 optical drives
2 hdds
PSU (ATX)

Any suggestions for a great full ATX portable computer case would be awesome. Thanks!!!

I appreciate your reply, however the CM Scout is barely smaller (one inch in height and length) than the HAF 932. It wouldnt solve the size problem that they both pose to transportation.

Also, the NZXT vulcan would be awesome if it only supported full ATX mobos. It only supports micro ATX

the xigmatek one looks ok, but i dont think i want that one for my comp because it is bigger than the CM Elite 360.

My 5850 is oc'd to 900/1200 (core/mem) so it gets kinda hot even though it has a great aftermarket cooler on it. Will going with a case like the CM Elite 360 or the Blackbone raise the temps significantly?

honestly this one looks pretty good. What do you think?

oh ok. The more I look for portable cases, the more I think the Antec Skeleton is the smallest I can go while still getting decent cooling. Thoughts?

i would use whatever case I get all the time. Im going to sell the HAF 932 that i currently use and move over completely to the new case. Does that change anything?
