lanboy:
With all the many various case designs coming out it seems one market has been missed, the Lan users. Antec has a new case called the LanBoy that is geared specifically to Lan users. With it's lightweight all-aluminum contruction, relatively small size and the included carrying strap it seems to be perfect not only for Lan users but also for those who need to move their system around. It even has a nice side window and a compartment in the rear for various hardware.

chieftec dragon:
Typically the larger names like Lian Li or Cooler Master take a lot of the spotlight when it comes to "enthusiast's boxes." Chieftec cases are far from being out of the limelight but they often times seem to be seen in the realm of "solid second choices." The more I thought about this, the more I decided that the Chieftec aluminum cases when you put price into the equation, offer the best value for your case dollar from what I have read. Especially now that the Chieftec can be purchased in one of multiple colors - red, blue, green, yellow, black, or silver. An e-mail and a few days later, a new Chieftec Dragon Colored Case showed up courtesy of Xoxide. Priced at $96 and $77 respectively for windowed and non-windowed versions, we jumped right in to check things out and see how well this case stacks up.
