7 awesome LAN PC cases – South African pricing

Moving your high-end gaming rig from one place to another can be a problem, especially if you have an unnecessarily large case.

This also presents a big problem at LAN events, as there is generally not much desk space available and smaller cases are favoured over big, flashy gaming rigs.

These seven cases strike the perfect balance between stylish design and portability, and are compatible with Mini-ITX motherboards.

Despite their small size, these cases can house high-end gaming components, including the latest graphics cards.

Pricing for these cases was sourced from a number of online retailers in order to find the cheapest products available.
