    looking for a very light pc chassis...

    I'm moving to NZ next month - and my current chassis is a bit of a heavy weight - 11kg, so I'm looking for something which is much lighter - what do you guys think the lightest chassis around - to take an atx case

    Will it be cheaper to ship an entire system, or ship the expensive components and buy the rest over there?

    Lian Li cases are very light, yet retain a good amount of sturdyness. look cool to!!

    If your travelling that far you prob going to want to dismantle parts of it anyway, especially the HSF.

    My mate moved 1 year ago from Derby to Texas. Dumped his whole system, took just the hard drive.
    Mind you he only had a P3 733 and now has an Athlon64, but still, you might consider it. Not only is it shipping costs, it's also a question of the packaging/moving/handling/loading/unloading people all being careful with your kit.
    I wouldn't trust them.
    I'm commenting on an internet forum. Your facts hold no sway over me.

    it's something that i can fit in my samsonite roll-on, so might just take everything out of the chassis, and buy a new one out there.
    i've just spent about 600 on upgrades, so I'd rather not have to replace it.
    might look at the lanboy tho

    My Gigabyte Aurora is pretty light and its got tons of space and the cooling is excellent due to 2 120mm fans in the rear and 1 in the front.
