PC case challenge (airplane carry-on)

What are some good cases that you could bring onto an airplane?

The maximum dimensions for a carry-on bag are 9 inches x 14 inches x 22 inches (22 cm x 35 cm x 56 cm), including handles and wheels so the case must be smaller than this!

Link to dimensions: http://www.united.com/CMS/en-US/travel/Pages/BaggageCarry-On.aspx?Mobile=1

Would be nice if the case fit all graphics cards ;)

**Don't just say: "any mini atx case will fit" - because they don't! (Like Obsidion 250D)

**KEY: d- depth [side panel to side panel], h - height [from stands to the top], w - width [front panel to back] **

Cases that I found to fit:
- Zalman ZM-T2 Plus [d - 189 x h - 427.5 x w - 364mm] http://www.zalman.com/global/product/Product_Read.php?Idx=865

- Cooler Master Elite 130 [d - 398.5 x h - 207.4 x w - 240 mm] <- to make the case fit you put it front panel to the bottom of the bag

- Silverstone Lite Sugo [d- 276 x h - 176 x w - 222 mm]

 

Any other cases?

I have a project like this in the works, about the size of a laptop bag, made of desktop components, with a screen, keyboard, battery .

 

But would you want a 3D designed case or a already made one ?

Recommend what is best, not what you preffer.

"Like" comments to show your support of them or the idea they express.

I don't have a 3d printer or know anyone that has one (I live in Poland) so a already made one would be nice ;)

Make sure you remove the GPUs as they can jump around and strain the PCI-E slots.
