Recommendation for a very small case

Hi, i am building a very small desktop PC and i need to bring it on-board airplanes when i travel (dont ask me why lol).

So, please make recommendations for a very small yet decent case.

Specs:
CPU 4670k OC with 212 evo cooler
RAM GSKILL 8G
GPU GTX 780 reference cooler
PSU Seasonic 620W
SSD Intel 530 240G
HDD WD Black 1TB

mobo: Impact? Gene? depends on the case i guess.

Thanks~
 
The 212 Evo won't fit very small cases. Most ITX cases don't have the height clearance and those that do are nearly mATX size. For properly small form factor with overclockability, I'd recommend a Fractal Design Node 304 with Corsair H90. Using a liquid cooler will also put the weight off of the motherboard, making it safer to carry.

As for the motherboard, Asrock Z87E-ITX with 6-phase CPU power will do fine for moderate OC'ing, and like the more expensive Asus Deluxe board, it has high end ALC1150 sound and Intel LAN. But it lacks wireless, so if you need wireless, get the Asus board.
