A special case needed

[OLDBYTE]

Hi guys, 

 

I'm a Spanish guy who needs to move around a lot cause I don't have a stable job and my PC case it's heavy as hell. 

 

I usually take apart the entire pc and I put every component in their original boxes, and then that in a Samsonite 200€ suitcase filled with foam, and then I put the old case in a cardboard  box, but the last time was 50 € to transport cause I don't have a car. 

 

I need a way to transport the entire pc case or change the pc case to one more easy to transport knowing that I have a msi gtx 1070 gaming and a noctua NH-U12A that is a very abig cooler, I know that it's better to take off those two to prevent problems but I really have the problem of transporting the case I have is very big and has a lot of years so please give me some help to figure out a solution.

If you can afford it, i would just rebuild the rig in an ITX form factor. Much easier to move, just toss it in the backpack and you are good to go.

That would mean a new Case and a new motherboard.

What @Origami Cactus said or get a laptop for travelling.

If you were ok with a smaller CPU cooler, you could fit a build inside the https://pcpartpicker.com/product/dM8H99/silverstone-case-sstsg13b , a shoebox sized case for easy portability. Fits inside a backpack.

Yeah if you don't need more than 1 PCI_e slot building a Mini-ITX PC would probably be your best option. Chassis only get so small with standard ATX.

I spend like 200€ in a atx motherboard so I can't do nothing about it, but if it fits I will change the case, or buy a open benchmark case

I see that I don't have other choice, but it's like 180 the motherboard and 100 the cooler, I don't think in spain that I could sell them for 200 or even low so I'm very screwed

I think I don't have other choice, I have a 2600X and a msi gtx 1070 gaming x that is 279 x 140 x 42 mm, also my power supply is a Mars Gaming mpII850 and also I have a 1 500 Samsung Evo SSD and a 4 TB 3.5 hard drive. I don't think that all of this will enter in that Silverstone case, could you give me other choice?
