Looking to make my PC more portable...

Marius

So I know that this might not be possible given my constraints, but here goes:

I am looking for the smallest case possible that can fit a 1070 STRIX as well as a Corsair H100i V2 AIO. I am ok with doing some modding to the case to make the H100i fit (like Kyle from Bitwit did when he water-cooled the Node 202 with that Zalman AIO...)

 

There really are no other constraints as the rest of my PC needs to be updated and I am willing to buy mobo/psu that fits around these constraints.

the ncase M1 will fit those components, but the h100i v2 will be a squeeze

having build in one previously, width is scarce on the interior, and the sleeved, inflexible tubes of the v2 make it almost impossible to squeeze the radiator bracket in place. I had trouble with an H105, which has unbelievably soft tubing in comparison, so the v2 seems nigh on impossible.

I'd suggest an air cooler, such as the Noctua NH-D9 or Cryorig M9i, or an AIO with more flexible tubing, like the aftorementioned H105 or H100i v1

Add handles to your current PC case, just make sure they are metal.

It worked for me!
