Corsair's new Graphite series 380T enclosure is a nice case for portable Mini-ITX systems.

I actually own an NCase M1, and whilst I do agree that it is hands down the best Mini-ITX case there is, I disagree about it being the best LAN case -- to transport it I do not feel comfortable taking it with me as is, I need to put something around it, the box or something. I also love it too much to risk scratching it -- all factors that matter.This will make a nice portable lan gamer but the ncase m1 is the greatest mini itx case ro ever be produced. Do your research the ncase m1 is tiny as hell while allowing for TRIPLE slot gpu's. Basically any gpu on the market can fit into this thing. The way the venting is set up you can remove the shroud and fans off the gpu and use the case fans blowing cold air directly onto the gpu. then a 240mm cpu cooler on the other open vented side. And this thing is tiny so space efficient. It's almost 200 dollars when all is said and done to buy it but it's factually and objectively the best portable gaming lan party pc case.
Why the shit can't we get a horizontal mounted full ATX case? ATX is fucking tiny and the footprint will be tiny when you mount horizontal because you can put the drives and PSU in a bay below the board. This layout is ideal for anyone who is gaming because of the insane stress giant GPUs put on the PCIe slot and the standard board mounting puts on the already beyond overweight GPU PCB.
The only other logical alternative would be a 90 degree mounting system like Silverstone uses, which is in all their super hideous and overpriced cases - so they aren't really an option.
Caselabs has a horizontal case, but it is unfortunately like 360US - http://www.caselabs-store.com/mercury-s8/
I really don't understand it, this is a no brainer.
