I am travelling quite often and I've come to the point that I've realized that I use my laptop mostly as a desktop pc so I want to build a more powerful and easily transportable(by airplane) desktop. The case that I have found is not on pcpartpicker so here's a separate link: http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mini-itx/mini110/
Now, I am not sure if I can even fit these components inside that small HTPC case. What do you think? Thanks in advance.
