Are you planning on buying a pre-moded case? Just buying a case and then moding it yourself? Or not planning on having a moded case at all?

I would say the smallest case with the fastest video card and processor. At LAN parties you do not need or WANT a huge honking case to drag around.

I'd also consider getting a pc tote or something of that nature. Could come in handy

Yo this computer is the bomb. It supports everything you would need including USB 2.0 with built in audio and ethernet too. So is this a good deal?

Its great for Lan partys. Its very portable. Its a laptop, without the price, really. But if you look inside, you will see that you cant add ALOT.
1 HD
1 CDRW
and thats about it.
Its a Nice small system.. That and a monitor, keyboard, mouse and a USB Hub and you are set.

But for a strict gaming machine its perfect. Who cares about backing up games really? No need for all the hardware a mid tower can hold. I have one at home and I love it. I threw in a Plextor DVD/CD-RW drive and its awsome.

Very true IOMAN:

But for an ALL AROUND system, get a mid.
For a great game machine and for Lans, and a bit of net, it would be great.. And for that you can have a machine that you dont worry about Virus, as you can always recover it.

I understand what you are saying, but you get my point.
