Default portable case?

i am thinking about a new build and well i want it to be portable. my case now weighs a ton filled with everything and i want to cut that in half if possible. now i plan on using a megahalems cooler so the case will have to fit that and provide adequate cooling for a heavily overclocked cpu/gpu

im looking for more of a lanbox with a handle. does anyone have any ideas because im basically stuck right now.

im thinking lga1156; megahalems; 2 ssds; 2 drives; a LARGE graphics card

ATX, wide enough for the Megahalems, already comes with a black interior and has a handle. It's steel, but it's not too bad, with everything in it, it should weigh about 23lbs or so.

It's pretty big, but I like the way you're going with the Lian Li, throw these on there and you'll be set:

Apparently the PC-A05NB only weighs ~8-10 lbs? Wow.

the a05n is as small as an mATX case but can handle full atx boards. depending on your mobo layout you could even fit a 5970 in it. check out the my rig link in my sig to see what ive stuffed in mine.

it only weighs 7lbs as well.
