Portability

I already have a really nice pc with an 2080 super, a ryzen 7 5800x and 32 gigs of memory. My problem is that this is all mounted in a full atx tower case. I don't mind the massive case but I want it to be a bit more portable. 

Because I sometimes work with some friends on some projects I would like to be able to unplug all the cables at home and just pick up my pc to drive somewhere else. 

 

So my question is:

 

Does someone know a full atx tower case with something like a handle to easily pick it up and place it in a car. 

I don't care for RGB or a glass panel. I'd rather have no glass panel because I'm afraid I'll break it when I move my pc.

The Asus GT301 technically has a handle on it, but I'm not so sure they meant for it to actually be used as one. The only other option I can think of off the top of my head is the Strix Helios but those are super not worth the asking price.

Any case with a solid top (or by adding a backing sheet) is really easy to add a hardware store handle to. Back in the early 2000's I did this with my lan box.
