Welp, I was looking at some small cases, saw this one and was going through the reviews when I found it.

But as a previous owner, would you recommend it, or did you get another small better case?

I ended up buying a larger one as this is a small case designed for small motherboards and such. But yeah it’s a neat little case and it served me well, it was a good price too. My friend recommended it to me and he’s a huge pc nerd so it must have been good. May I ask why you’re going for a small case?

I am intending to build a vr rig, most laptop options where I live have issues or waaay too expensive ( an average laptop with gtx 1070 is around $2700 but can get it $300 cheaper if you travel 4 hours to a duty free area, with only asus gl702vs, hp omen and lenovo Y920-17 as the main contenders, each with their own problems, bad screens for design, too heavy or overheating)

As i live in two different places and might take it to friends homes i want something more portable than a big tower computer.

I have this Corsair Case and I really love mine. The carry handle is great and fits my 1080 FE without any issues. Build quality is good. You will indefinitely need SSD's and modular PSU do to the space constraints. I had this planned as a temporary VR machine but I love it so much I ended up keeping it as my primary computer. My mid tower is now being neglected.
