I need your opinion in choosing between the Silverstone Sugo 05 and the Lian Li Q11. The case will be used for a portable Mini ITX Gaming PC, I need the case to be easy to move about and fit in a holdall in order to be transported. So the issue I face is that each case has its advantages and disadvantages.

The Silverstone Sugo 05 advantages are:

    Nice Rectangle Size (Fits in a holdall)
    Supports Long GPU's
    Popular Case
    Plenty of cable management options

The Silverstone Sugo 05 disadvantages are:

    Requires SFX PSU (Not Modular - More Expensive)
    Only a front 120MM Fan
    Not very good build quality

The Lian Li Q11 advantages are:

    Supports a Standard ATX PSU (Cheaper than SFX)
    Front 140mm Fan
    More storage mounting options
    Great build quality
    Supports standard DVD Drive

The Lian Li Q11 disadvantages are:

    Less cable management options
    Heavier


I'd appreciate if you'd help me out making this decision, Price is not an option as I've been offered the Q11 for a great price so both cases are nearly on par price wise.

You basically answered your own question man. I would go with the Lian Li Q11, I'd rather carry a heavier case than having a poor build quality and what not.

Personally, I would recommend the BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX Case. It's rather cheap and it comes in many colours. It's a good case and you should read up about them before making any purchases.

Peace out. :)

Personally I would avoid anything with bad build quality. This is something that is going to be moved around often, you want something that's not gonna break because it was meant to sit on a desk and never move. It would be nice to have light and durable but I think durability is far more important than a bit more weight.
