Very lightweight ATX case?

[bit1]

Does anyone know of a very lightweight (and small) ATX case?

I originally looked at the Lian Li PC-30 aluminium mini-tower - but it's too heavy at 4.31kg!

I saw an old review (www.slcentral.com/reviews/hardware/cases/colorcase/yuri/page2.php) of a case that sounded ideal - the 'Yuri' by Colorcase (2.73kg!!). Unfortunately I don't think the company still makes this case (still looking into this).

So far the lightest weight case I have personally held is the plexi one from ClearPC. Then again it scratches easily, has no RF shielding, and is pretty expensive.

Looks darn cool though...

Thanks for the info. I checked out the ClearPC - Definitely a cool looking case.

Unfortunately it's just under 6kg which is about what I want the entire rig to weigh (minus screen!).

Maybe I could use an old Cornflakes box.....

Another option is the aluminum Chilli Professional 1/4" @ 4.9kg without powersupply.

Not the best enginnered case in the world.. but it takes an ATX motherboard and has a very small footprint. One 5 1/4 external and two 3.5 external

Hell, that's one tightly packed PC!

Smallest footprint I've seen on an ATX case.

The Lian Li PC-30 is still the lightest so far though (about 0.6kg less) and the size is ok for me.
Even with the PC-30 though, it still only gives me ~1.6kg for the mobo, HD, and graphics card.

Emailed Colorcase to see if they still have any Yuri's (doubtful) but no reply. Still can't believe the Yuri was a bit larger than the PC-30 and yet weighed in at 2.7kg!!
