Hey guys, my planning to move my pc to an itx sff. Should have done it before MCO. Just wanna ask those who travel with their systems, especially onboard airplanes. It is possible to travel with a system in a bag pack? Cabin bag seem to heavy for most flights, AirAsia has 8kg policy. Cargo luggage might get toss around.

I've researched some cases, basically made a checklist.
Plan to swap for a itx board, low profile cooler, and maybe SFX PSU. Currently using a rgb 160x150 PSU. Hehe. N it's a ryzen 5 gen2 system.

My check list
- small for bag pack. Like those 30l producer bags.
- fitment for my evga 1080 card.
- decent temps, I don't plan to oc.
- 2x 2.5 drives
- sub rm500 hopefully.

What I found
- sg13, small, can fit a 160mm ATX apparently, cramp
- node 202, soldout everywhere. Small and slim

Would like to know more about your experiences with these cases. Plz don't say laptop.

Edit// I notice there are some cases with handle bars on top for such transport purposes. nope pls.

I have personally owned a SG13.
- Good airflow and can fit ATX PSU no problem.
- Must keep the CPU cooler lowprofile because ATX PSU sits on top

and still keeping a Node 202 black and sprayed white.
- Really struggle with good airflow. Intake fan for GPU did not help much to reduce temp. Used dual fan Zotac 1070 mini - temp reached 88C.
- Better airflow with blower type GPU - I am using an oem Dell GTX1070. 83C on load.
- No reset button
- Issue to find SFX modular getting limited and expensive. Used PSU are selling like fried bananas.

Thanks for replying. Not willing to let go my baby 1080. looks like sg13 is the way.

any1 have experience with those china taiwan GEEEK cases? looks dandy, but not many youtuber review.
