I will be going back to pipeline in a few months and I could never stand gaming on a laptop, so I will probably be traveling my desktop, it is in a P280 right now, but I am looking for something that might work better on the road, are there any options for this? Or what do yall think would be a good choice?
 
I see you have a GTX 670, there are mini cards like the GTX 670 mini and GTX 760 mini.
Something like that Lian Li TU100 or the Silverstone FT03 Mini which can fit a 10.5": video card like a GTX Titan/780.

This means you will have to go ITX. Do want to keep your current parts in ATX?
 
Yes, want to keep everything I have, the 670 is short as it is (H60 AIO on it) so that is not much of an issue, will probably move to a H100i for the CPU to remove the weight of the TRUE off the mobo socket. So mounting for a H60 and H100 would be needed. I don't need super small, but smaller the better without having to rebuild the PC and light, don't need a heavy case to add into it as well, which is the main thing with the P280, size is pretty big, but the weight of the thing just does not work.
 
The need to keep ATX and have two AIO will keep the dimensions on the larger side. It's one or the other.
 
Like I said, size is not that much of a deal, it is weight, and durability also I should say. I have seen some smaller cases that will fit the ATX, but are either all steel and heavy, or all plastic and looks like it would fall apart under it's own weight.
 
I was thinking more along the lines of the PC-V700B, it's almost half the weight of that one, and has room for both the AIO's and is much shorter as well.

I thought about that too, but I owned the 750WX and I spoke with others that owned the 700.
You can't fit a rad at the top, even with slim fans. You can use two H60s mounted from the rear and front, or H90 in the front.

Looks like it will though?

If you can use slim fans and your board has low heatsinks, it may work.
It can be a costly miscalculation if it doesn't.

Agreed, I don't think the mobo HS's will be to much of an issue from the photos. and should be fine with fan choice. Price is not to much of an issue, as I did say I was going back to pipeline work ;)

I could rebuild without issue...I just don't want to waste the PC I have, as if I don't take it with me, it is just going to sit in storage. And it does everything I need just fine, even though upgrading has been begging me for a while now, every time I think about it I have no real reason to.

Looks plastic...Not sure how it would hold up, and also looks like a itx sized build.
