Hey Guys!

The PC im using at work has some issues with the motherboard, so for the time being I was forced to use an old Celeron PC...

I decided that Im going to bring my PC from home in daily, because I cant work on these 10-12 year old PC's any longer.

Do you guys have any recommendations on a portable PC chassis that is easy to carry around, that can utilize a standard ATX motherboard and about an 10.5" long Sapphire 7950?

I have been looking at a good amount of HTPC cases, and a few from Mountainmods.com, but wanted to get some input from people who use these types of cases and how it works for them.


Price range is in the $200-$250 max. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Ill agree with scatman839..... a laptop would be perfect even if it is a Netbook or the sort.

Netbook i bought this one for my mom to use and she is more than happy. It is perfect for office use.

Cooler Master 361 ($50) can fit up to 12" if you don't use the hard drive cage. I used the first revision, but got kinda annoyed I couldn't use a big CPU heatsink.
