Case Recommendations

Hey, didn't want to totally derail the Computer Building Thread so I'll post a separate one. I'm looking to modify an existing build. I want to put it into a smaller, lighter case for portability. Only requirements are that it take a standard ATX power supply and be able to accomodate a 2 slot video card. Micro-ATX, ITX, whatever. The lighter, the better. I'd love one of the Lian Li PC-Q07 or PC-V351 cases, but they're just too expensive. Cheap is good too. Thanks in advance!

Cliffs:
-Need new case for portable PC build
-The lighter, the better
-The cheaper, the better

Nah man, that's what it's there for.

I can't make a good rec as the one I would push is one that isn't portable or light.

Thanks! Just out of curiosity, what case would you push for?

Not ideal, but I just ordered a Lian Li PC-A06FB from newegg. They're having a Lian Li blow out sale and it was like $60 free shipping. Its only 8lbs vs the 35lb monster I've got now. Either way, I'll be looking for a smaller form factor case as well.

I love my 690 II Advanced, but it's no small case.

Seen that one at CompUSA. Bit too heavy for what I want it for. Cooler Master cases are a pleasure to work with though. I've done a few builds for other people using them.

12.8 lbs, not bad. I'm enjoying the Lian Li case to tell you the truth. I had some concerns about the cooling based on the location of the PSU, but its a non issue. CPU never gets above 64 under full load and the GPU is fine. I have traveled with it once and the difference is noticable. If I do wind up doing another build I'll keep that one in mind though! Thanks!
