So my friend is wanting to build a LAN rig, I may do this stuff for a living but I was wondering what you guys think. He has a budget of 900-1000 USD. He said MATX or MITX case. Also I don't care if it is AMD, Intel, or Nvidia.

Probably should upgrade storage
case is first thing I thought of when you said LAN
This isn't bad, how easy is it to work inside the case though, it seems like it would be awkward.
Welcome to M-ITX.
The 380T is actually pretty big for an ITX rig - not Bitfenix Prodigy big, but still big nonetheless.
Here's a rig that should be more powerful than the one posted previously:

Pick up windows from the buy/sell/trade forum for cheap or pick it up regularly for about 80-100 bucks.
The elite 110 is tiny. Wifi is included as well. No handle on this guy though, so you'll have to hug it around. Consider one of the Lian-Li cases if you want one with a handle(can't remember the model off the top of my head)
