Post by Skidd »

K guys, I need to build a case for my Girl Friend, I need suggestion on what case I can get my grubby hands on.

Requirements:
Must be light (she has to carry it)
Stylish
Not so much plastic
Try keep the price under 1k

I used to use a super lanboy. damn that thing is nice and light. And it comes with a carry strap for carrying. It's a mod in itself though. Sure, you can probably improve on it but I wouldn't. Go for something plain and show some skill. like a typical KME handle chassis. Check Esquire, I've seen they have different models with different faces. OR better, do something original for a handle :wink:

Dude, that LAN boy case can get so much done to it. Just because it has a perspex window doesnt really mean thats its modded already

I would personally make a plan with the front, make stealth 5.25" bays or something

Silverbacks suggestions are heavy IMO.

I also like that black one. LOTS of potential.

That'd be super! Buuut... I think after all that you'd want to keep it for yourself. :lol: have a look at the new Gigabyte Poseidon ( I think)

I'd suggest an NSK4400 or a Superlanboy. Good luck with the project Sean :D
