Ugh. That could be a challenge. It won't be in a bootable state while in transit due to lack of fluids.

Thanks @nubbins for the insight and experience here. That gives me a lot of knowledge, I went with the 1535 specifically when I ordered. When I formally start gonna make a new build log for the project :) @morj That was definitely on the table. The thing I'm most worried about though and reason...

So to update. After a lot of consideration, I decided I'm going to try @Valantar 's idea with the pelican case *first*. Just ordered one from Amazon to come in Monday. My thought process is: 1. It's literally the maximum size for a carry-on. I have the maximum size in this envelope to play...

Not sure. Though now I'm sad, that CX2 case looks like almost exactly what I want. Just a *bit* more flexible than the CBX(CX?). Sad it doesn't exist. Just relaying what I was told when discussing it with them. Aye thanks, I have to dig some more. Seeing a lot of completed builds but not many...

I'll be doing a custom loop; AIO aren't airplane friendly like you state for carry-on. I'm planning to just drain it and re-fill it every-time. Hassle but really only a few minutes. That's a pretty interesting case, it fits my size dimensions and isn't quite as cramped as the CBX. Have to...

FWIW I just called and asked, and with the process they said changing the dimensions of it would essentially be a 5 figure order for just *1* case, it only would make sense if I needed dozens of them. I dunno if this is public knowledge but the rep did say they have a re-design of the Cerberus...

I'm basing the case dimensions on the bag size. (Which many have reported never being hassled about, it's "close enough"; people never check unless it's visibly really far off in practice, though that could bite me in the ass. That's actually an interesting idea I hadn't considered. I'm kinda...

I can use them, but I use all of them. 8 NVME drives in total. I'm not too concerned with prettyness, I'm even thinking about potential solution for maybe an external radiator on the outside of the Cerb. It's so small I could put a beefy rad on top with little modification and still have it...

Not really opposed to it as an option. The thing it'd change is I use the other 2 PCI-E slots for 1 slot USB and 1 slot NVME card, and using 2 air cooled GPUs would block at least one of those slots in a way the water blocks don't. So I'd need to be able to mount those cards somewhere else with...

Good note. I'll mostly be flying Delta, but for over-seas flights this is definitely something for me to keep in mind, and see if I can keep the weight down. I think my backup plan would be to disassemble the heaviest parts of it if I have to. I want to avoid checked baggage for such an...

In something similar to that, I could probably remove the bottom radiator, make one a really thick 360mm radiator, and combine it with a 280mm and that could push it just past the performance I think I need.

Just exploring, made some quick sketchups of what would basically be "close" to ideal if such a case in these dimensions existed. This is with 3x280mm radiators. View1 View2

I saw some conflicting reports on that. Do you happen to know the thickness supported? The thermal load of the CPU and GPUS in this build need to dissipate about 1000w~ of heat at full load(300+350+350). Assuming medium thickness and 1800rpm of my existing fans, that'd dissipate roughly 800w~...

Greetings. As part of a major lifestyle change, I'm going to be traveling extensively, up to twice a month, and my work/hobbies aren't laptop friendly, even for the beefiest laptops. I was referred to these forums as an excellent place for this particular type of discussion 😀 Requirements...
