Here's a qoute:

"Two optional fans can be installed, the one in the back should be mounted with screws, but the one in front can be "popped" in. The LANboy has small holes in front that could give it some airflow from the front, but I doubt the fact if the fan will get enough air to built up a nice airflow.
If you want to install a fan in the window you'll have to start drilling or cutting. "

Feeling kinda neutral about this case.

I've always been a fan of the drive rail systems out there, making it easier to add/remove drives.

But it seems that the cooling in this case is not sufficient as most would want it to be.

The looks/design is ok, it doesn't tickle me though :)

Personally, I would rather have a Shuttle system for LAN parties. I think this case is just way to bland for me.

Yeah I agree, this doesn't have enough spunk for me.

Personally I would go for a shuttle mini system for a lan party. Actually, the Gbox P4 System would be perfect for LAN parties because of the built in handle, too bad the chipset on it is pretty outdated.

a guy on hardforums built a briefcase pc, its ****ing sweet! i thought about making a shuttle system for awhile. with an nforce2 and a aiw 8500 or a 9700 pro. but that never happened, maybe in the future, this summer, when i can work w/o school in the way
