Compact/Portable m-atx case with 280mm rad support and standard length gpu

Hi there, 

Pretty new to the forums but long time LTT follower.

I'm looking for a bit of community help in choosing a case for a new portable editing system.

 

Over the last year I have been doing a lot of Freelance editing and have needed to take my workstation from job to job. My current x99 system is in a Corsair Carbide 500R and has both work and personal data on it. It's large, heavy and well like part of the family so every time I have to move it I worry. In fact Ive had to leave it at location a number of time. Not fun.

 

So I'm planning on building a Ryzen based secondary editing PC that I can load my footage and projects onto for the duration of the job and not worry about anywhere near as much.

 

I'm looking for a compact/portable case that can support an m-atx mobo, a standard sized GPU...say founders edition as a minimum, 2-3 3.5 HDD and at least 1 2.5 and finally a 280mm AIO. If the case could have handles that would be a bonus...

 

So far the closest thing I've found is the bit-phoenix Prodigy-M... But I'm not sure on RAD support.

 

I'm open to advice or suggestions etc and if you need more details just let me know. 

 

Cheers!

The Thermaltake Core V21 checks off all your feature-oriented boxes except handles, and while it is a short, stubby little thing, I don't know that I'd go so far as to call it portable. It's kinda bulky.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

Yeah, I thought about this one as well... I saw it in person and I have to agree - it is a bit bulky... Interesting.

I'm wondering if modding the Prodigy M would be the best solution...
