I'm interested in building a portable pc workstation to use for 3D Animation, VFX, VR & Game development.

I do a lot of contract work onsite and always end up using my own computer so durability and

portability are a must!




I really like the MSI Trident X series but the two things it's lacking are:



i - the 32 GB RAM limit


ii - and being a custom case & motherboard I don't know whether this means I would be able to upgrade the video card later on when the time comes




I'd like to be able to use a Micro ATX motherboard like this one:

so that I can have more RAM and PCI slots



and use a full size graphics card like an GTX 1080 or RTX 2080



For cases something similar to this would be nice? But it sounds like this just for itx motherboards?

Others cases I have been looking at are:



Thermatake Core G3 -  sounds good too but reviews all say they are very cheap quality?

The more I try to research it just gives me a headache!




Anyone else also building a portable workstation computer for similar use? I could definitely use some guidance here.
