[SOLVED] Micro ATX vs small ATX case

[Brubulus Bugamulus]

I am planing on building a SFF ryzen build for LAN parties\air travel. I am torn between a cooler master Q500L or Q300P . I need to have a carry handle and will be using X570 motherboards 1 or 2 front RGB fans so I will need to go all the way down to mini ITX if I get the micro ATX case . I would also like some semblance of durability. Thank you for any help I get.

Lian Li has the perfect case for you, in mini-itx form, in the TU-150, but they are hard to find. Mastercase H100 is an option, as well. What is your system budget?

Why do you think you need a mITX mobo with a mATX case?

+1 for the CM H100

I am using an x570 mobo and there is only one micro ATX motherboard and I do not like it.
Plus, I would really like a clear side panel.

Around $1200 but I would like to put less than $100 into case.

A side window could cause you issues, durability wise. Glass and acrylic can easily be broken, so I would recommend against it. This would be easily portable.
