Discussion For your SFF what kind of Backpack or Case do you use for travel?

[Scytes]

The question is pretty much in the title

That said I'll give some context - I am moving my build in to an SM550 from Sliger, I believe I've found some good backpacks and possibly travel friendly cases it will fit (Plus Peripherals) however I didn't find an overwhelming abundance of people actually posting what they used.

So I figured why not ask here? I'd love to see all your backpacks and case solutions for carrying your SFF PC to wherever you may be going!

When I travel, if I take a PC with me, I always travel by driving. Just safer to make sure my system arrives in tact. As for carrying my PC I like Gear Grips products.

My DAN A4 case fits perfectly in a Tenba BYOB 13. This camera bag i put in my hardshell carry on. Travelled to china and back a few times like this.
Spent my 2 weeks quarantine with my DAN a4 in my hotel room.

Most people don’t build SFF for portability, but more for the novelty and/or challenge.

or challenge.

Why would anyone possibly accept a number of shortcoming of an SFF build just for a challenge? I would honestly be surprised if someone had that as his main objective.

Cramming maximum performance into super small spaces and making it work without thermals going haywire? Yeah, it's a challenge. And fun as heck. They don't do it because it "fits in my backpack better"

edit** I'm not really talking about the mainstream sff cases (DAN, Sliger, Inwin, Ncase), as those just take some pre-planning and looking up compatible hardware, then you literally just follow a build order. The people looking for a true challenge are the ones building/fabbing their own cases, or heavily modding existing cases. That takes weeks and weeks of trial and error and failed attempts.
