Probably not. The reason it works with the system you saw is that it has a custom base to help redistribute the weight.

You could, but I still don't know what case you could use. Your best bet would probably be to contact them and see if they could sell you just a bare-bones system. If not, your only options that I can think of would be to either find some thin and relatively light case and drill some mounting holes in it, or custom build an enclosure.
