I'm trying to downsize my current build which consists of a 14900K and a 7900XTX that are currently housed in a bulky Antec case weighing about 50 pounds. I'm planning to switch to a portable setup with a 280mm AIO (which can be mounted externally) to make it more travel-friendly. Ideally, I want a clever mesh case that isn't much larger than an ATX motherboard and can accommodate a 280mm AIO on one side and the GPU on the other side, both pulling in cold air. If necessary, I could also go for a 360mm AIO. Any recommendations?

Check out the Cooler Master Qube 500 Flatpack. It's got a unique design and although it's mid-quality, it has great portability features. However, it’s not significantly smaller than a mid-tower, just a few inches shorter in one dimension.
For a compact option, consider the Sliger Cerberus case. It's designed for micro ATX but offers good features for portable builds. Just keep in mind you're looking at micro ATX compatibility.
Thanks for the suggestion! Micro ATX could work, but I really want to stick with ATX if possible.

I agree, it looks cool, but compared to my mid tower, it doesn't save much space at all. Just as wide and tall!
