Had enough yet?

...They've tackled this problem before, and they have a number of requirements that kind of sync with yours....

• Portability
• Durability
• Increased ventilation(No, you're probably not overclocking, but do you want your system to hang mid-performance from a heat overload in some hot/sweaty dance club?)
• Specialty hardware requirements
• No need of a battery

Take a look here or here* for PCs built into a standard suitcase chassis.

* - If you like the base case used in this one, I think they're currently on sale at Menards (Hardware chain) for @$20. I'd go for something a LOT sturdier, personally. Take a look at Pelican's line of resin/plastic cases - They're even watertight, if you can resist knocking holes in it for your card outputs. A safe assumption would be 'Build it like it's going to be flung around by luggage handlers.'

There are two much better reviews, one at Futurelooks and the other at The Gadgeteer.

You can go the expensive route and buy what is known as a "Luggable". It's just a compacted case, usually with built-in LCD, CRT, or Plasma. They are insanely expensive but it's pretty much exactly what you are looking for. Here is an example of what one looks like PC-ATX R9. Yes my friends this one does support dual processor motherboards. And a water-resistant keyboard. Expect this sort of deal to be used by field engineers and law enforcement.

If you want to go cheap then you get yourself a tiny ATX case. 1 or 2 5.25" bays is all. I can tuck one of these under my arms and my 15" monitor under the other and walk to a lan party in one trip. (up 3 flights of stairs too if I'm ambitious). Something like CaseAce GearGrip Pro. It lets you have a handle and shoulder strap for a standard case, plus pockets for keyboard and mouse. (I found this on Chick's Hardware)

Regret for the past is a waste of spirit
