LAN Gaming Case:

Cooler Master Storm Stryker:

Built to be amongst the most agile full-towers, Stryker includes an ultra-strong travel-ready carrying handle. CM Storm Stryker has a stylish glossy black and white finish on the case and included fans, windowed side panel, full dust filter coverage, a fan controller, an external SSD drive hot-swap dock and two uniquely designed modular hard drive cages. These features give CM Storm Stryker the ability to adapt to workstation or water-cooled gaming configurations easily.

SilverStone SG09:

How much performance and components can you reasonably fit in a 23 liter enclosure? That was the question SilverStone engineers asked themselves when designing the ninth edition of SilverStone’s Sugo series chassis. In a very limited space of 23 liters, which SilverStone defined as the limit for classifying a chassis as small form factor or SFF, the Sugo SG09 achieved performance never before seen for a computer chassis of this size. By slightly reducing storage capacity via relocation to motherboard backside mounting, the SG09 can accommodate two 13.3 inches long graphic cards with handles (longest under PCI-Express specification) with cooling provided by four fan slots. Having the power supply location moved away from above the CPU area has also increased CPU cooler’s height limit to 165mm, which is sufficient for nearly all tower CPU coolers on the market.

Antec Lanboy Air:

Meet the LanBoy Air. Nearly every part on this case, even the motherboard and PSU mounts, is modular and customizable. Up to 15 exhaust fans create positive air pressure inside the case that blows dust and heat out through panel perforations. Up front, the LanBoy Air's AirMounts HDD mounting system literally suspends drives in mid-air for unsurpassable vibration and noise resistance. Along with its two internal 2.5" SSD bays and a front-panel USB 3.0 port, the LanBoy Air is the last word in high-flexibility PC case design.

Corsair Vengeance C70:

When it’s time to take your competitive gaming on the road, the Vengeance C70 mid-tower PC case is a great choice. It’s crafted out of solid steel and made to survive trips with less wear and tear, and the ergonomic carry handles help you move your gear with confidence.

Zalman Z11 Plus:

Make your next computer stand out from the crowds with ZALMAN Z11 Plus HF1 mid tower computer case. Its meshed front panel, black interior coating and side panel window add overall quality and sense of elegance. Three 120mm red LED fans and two 80mm side fans deliver outstanding heat dissipation for maximum system performance.

NZXT Vulcan:

Do you want your next computer to stand out from the crowd? Here's an mATX-compatible stylish case that should do the trick. The NZXT Vulcan features a compact body, which is approximately 40% smaller than the typical super full tower. And the durable non-slip top handle and anti-vibration rubber support idealizes portability, enabling you to easily transport your ultimate gaming machine anywhere. Don't worry about the heat dissipation; it boasts advanced cooling capabilities with one 120mm top orange LED fan, one 200mm side fan (optional), and a front 120mm intake fan, plus the extra large mesh holes on side panel enhance the air circulation for optimal cooling. In addition, dual external water cooling cutouts provides an even more advanced cooling solution for your system.

My Vulcan was by far the most popular case at the last LAN party I went to. It's very eye-catching and is overall a great piece of hardware.
By far my favorite LAN case because of its form-factor and features.

How is the Cooler Master Scout listed in the Mid Tower category and not this? It is by far one of the best LAN cases around.

Vulcan. Mesh sides, room for huge tower coolers, and modular cages. Best of every world for mATX.
