    A good LIGHT case?

    Looking for a light (aluminium?) ATX case without a door to move my current computer into, as I've got my setup running in a Silverstone Temjin TJ05, and while its a really nice case, its a serious pain to have to move (something i have to do fairly regularly). Not having a door is also important as I'd quite like to be able to have things plugged into bay components without having the door open which tends to look a bit messy. Would of course prefer cheap-ish, but its more important for me to have a decent case which doesnt put my back out (about £50-70).

    Thanks in advance!

    Apart from the door issue, the Antec Super Lanboy would be ideal. A Lian Li PC-7 would suit the requirements you have outlined above as well including the door.

    Second vote for the Super Lanboy, pity you need it to not have a door. You could pop the door off, but not sure if it might look a bit odd like that.

    Chenbro gaming bombs are pretty light, due to the fact the front is mostly mesh, not bad cases inside and v cheap these days.

    Lian li cases heavy? They are made of aluminium. Before I put anything in mine I could lift it with one finger!
