Requirements:

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

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.
have a look at the new Gigabyte Poseidon ( I think)

I'd suggest an NSK4400 or a Superlanboy. Good luck with the project Sean
That guy that used to mod cases. Now I take photos. True story.
