I am flying out to Australia from the United States in a few months and I would like to bring my computer in a carry on but it's just too big.

This is what I currently have:
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X
RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance
SSD: 1TB M.2 T-Force CARDEA NVMe
Motherboard: MSI Tomahawk x570
Graphic Card: GeForce RTX 3060 Ti FE
Cooler: NZXT x53 AIO Cooler
Tower: Lian Li Dynamic Mini (Snow Edition)
and 5 corsair fans to cool the case

I dont mind replacing the AIO cooler, getting a mini motherboard and losing a few fans. I am just trying to find a PC case that will fit into a backpack that I can take onto the plane and one that is a bit aesthetically pleasing however I am having no luck.

Many of the cases I find are discontinued and i was really interested in the Mjolnir thor case however it is not even available to purchase.

I would also appreciate tips on just how I can get this PC overseas without damaging anything or replacing the whole build. There is a lot of tempered glass that I just don't want to risk breaking.

If not yet done, and if it's a one way trip with no return planed with the computer, simply unmount your configuration, pack properly your compenont and buy a new case once there to remount your configuration

Or you can also consider the cerebrus x
