Introduction

LAN parties and events have becoming more and more popular. I remember going to my first LAN event over 5 years ago. I think there were around 10 of us, but it still was great fun. Now LAN events have attendances of over 1000 gamers. The biggest problem I had with going to LAN events was lugging all my gear there. I often ended up breaking something on my case or something inside of it. Well Thermaltake is here to make things easy for you. They have recently released the LanBox case, which is a small form factor (SFF) case that is made just for LAN parties. Let's take a look!

Packaging

The LanBox comes in quite an attractive retail package; there is even a handle on the top for easy transportation home from the computer store. On the back of the box there is a detailed list of features and on the side of the case there is a full list of specs that we listed above.

The LanBox is very well protected inside of its retail box by Styrofoam and a cloth-like material. The windows are also covered in plastic to make sure they are not scratched during the shipping process.
