Heya, PC-GAF. Just following up on
this post.
So my big dilemma is "what SFF case to choose?" How portable is it, and how sturdy will it be when I'm dragging it back and forth from work?
I think I've pared my options down to four cases:
Thermaltake Armor A30 - Has the most room for future expansion. Appears made for carrying about, as it's billed as a LAN case. Looks really flashy but I don't want a case that sticks out too much(I ruled out the NZXT Vulcan for this reason). I thought it had a handle, but I can't seem to find any indication that it does...
Silverstone TJ08B-E - Simple, unassuming in appearance, and appears to be well-built.
Silverstone GD05B - Outside of the lack of USB 3.0, I'm still leaning towards this one for the price and overall size. I think if I got an oversized laptop carrying bag I could possibly put this in it...
Silverstone SG04B-FH - The carrying handle really pulled me towards this one, but the price is somewhat prohibitive and it doesn't have USB 3.0 face ports. I also understand that some of the base joints are made of plastic, which doesn't sound good for continuous hauling about.
Any advice regarding the above- cases, graphics card and CPU cooling, power supply, case size&airflow, etc... would be welcome.
