    Solid case recommendation

    Well to be fair he had a flimsy 20$ case. That didnt help. Sorry that ive been unclear. I guess anything with steel thicker than .7mm would be fairly good. I was tempted by the s340 as its side panels are quite thick

    Audio combiner cable

    you could use a simple 3.5mm audio cable and plug your laptop's audio output into your desktop's audio input (should be the blue colored audio jack in the back) and then activate the playback. i use the same thing whenever i play console games but i want to use teamspeak on my desktop for comms.
