Building a "Portable Desktop"

[TechieJustin]

Basically that's it. I'm looking to built a SFF machine that can be transported by hard foam case every few months around the world. I would like to have RAID 1 - so I need two internal 3.5" bays. I already have two Hard drives and a monitor. The machine will be used for video rendering and capturing - not professional grade but not kid stuff either.

Here is what I came up with.

Shuttle? My main problem is I like building my own machines and Shuttle is pricier than I expected.
Can I get just a Shuttle case with a magic case?

why don't you go with a mini-itx build. You can build an awesome setup with a zotac 9300

look at the sugo sg05 here http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/p_contents.php?pno=sg05&area=usa
