I've been going to a lot of LAN parties as of late, so my Full Tower case box is starting to wear down to the point of breaking.
Is there another way to carry huge Desktops like this easily?
I've heard of Desktop bags and straps but I've never actually seen them for sale anywhere.

Breaking... down?

Perhaps you should just invest in a light-weight case and move all your parts into it if you're really stretching for some aid.

To carry my tower more easily I bought four feet of 2" wide, sew-on velcro (not the stick-on shit) pulled the hook half apart from the loop half, then reattached them so that the end of the loop half was at the middle of the hook half, making a very long velcro strap, long enough to fit around the height of the tower and attach to itself. It served as a carrying handle, and I use it to this day any time I carry electronics.

Since I can't take a picture right now, you'll have to make do with shitty ASCII art.
t = hook side, f = loop side

tttttttttttttttttttt
:blank: :blank: ffffffffffffffffffffffff


EDIT: Looks like this. You should be able to get it at any fabric shop, whatever length you need.

That's a great idea!
But I sadly wouldn't get much use of it since I have to carry my Desktop down 3 rows of stairs.

It's not that I can't lift it, it's just I need a more secure way of carrying a huge case without the constant fear of dropping it.
