Guys, in the upcoming months I will have to travel a lot between DC and Denver. Basically, every week for maybe up to 6 months. I'm gonna go crazy without PC,, buut I don't like laptops, because of their limitations and no upgrade path.
However, I have a nice g-sync 24 inch monitor I'm not currently using almost at all and I have an empty Node 202 and two sticks of DDR4 laying around. I thought of putting a G4560,1050ti and some z270 mITX board for future upgradeability (i.e. migrating my 6700k, when I decide to upgrade main rig). That should be pretty good for some gaming in SFF.
My main challenge is to be able to transport this on a plane, i.e. I need somehow to fit it into a carry on bag. There're great monitor bags, like Roccat Tusko, but is there something to fit both monitor and Node 202, so that I had one carry on iteam, as I'm afraid United won't like me carrying both monitor bag and American Tourister with clothes and Node into salon.
Any ideas, experience to share?
