Sorry... I just spent a month looking at cases and forgot that I'm using 
jargon.  It appears that there is a group of gamers who build a strong gamer PC 
into a very small case; a case with a carrying handle.  Then they get together, 
all of them bringing their PC to a friend's house, plug them into a hub and do 
multiplayer gaming on the spot.

Not that you need a serious horsepower machine like a gamer does, but the point 
is that the entire PC is meant to be readily transportable, and so fits into a 
small form factor case.  I don't know if you can buy a business class PC in a 
lan party case, but you can undoubtedly build one.  Google turned up a bunch of 
hits on such cases, and http://www.zipzoomfly.com has cases, motherboards, etc. 
 One manufacturer is Antec: 
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=140024  I've found 
that the shipping charges will kill you on cases, so try to get them locally.
