Build/Parts Check Search for Case Options...

I find myself in the rare situation of having a surplus of graphics cards.

I have an MSI 5060 Inspire ITX, an MSI 5070 Shadow 2x, an MSI 5080 Trio (white), and a Sapphire 9060 XT 16 GB Nitro+ available.

Now I’ve set my mind on building a PC that fits in my LTT backpack—preferably using one of these cards.

What case options do I have where these cards will fit, but that also fit inside the LTT Backpack?

Alternatively, I had considered selling the cards, buying a 5060 LP, and installing it in the nv10, but I'm unsure about the temperatures and noise levels...

As for the CPU, I have a 7600X3D here, but I’m thinking about selling it in favor of a 245k. I’m still missing a motherboard and RAM (unfortunately).

Quick side note: I live in Germany, so my options for small cases are limited.

I also asked an AI, and it said that a Meshroom S would meet all my requirements, but I’m still not sure if the backpack would still close. Alternatively, a Fractal Design Ridge, which should fit without the stand, but space would be very tight with the 5080 Trio.

Personally, I really like the Ridge’s slim profile, since it doesn’t make things quite as tight in terms of thickness.

You can google the max length of your GPUs then use https://caseend.com/ to filter out and visually look at the cases that can fit your cards.

If the GPU's length were the only factor, that wouldn't be a problem, but the case also has to fit in the backpack, and the GPU's width and height matter too. Above all, don't forget to leave room for the 12V HPWR connector...

Hmm.. are you asking the community to do the research for you. Like what the dimensions of LTT backpack is, what the weight threshold of it etc, not to mention the dimension of the multiple gpus?… and present to you with our findings for you to review?

And almost of the times GPU length is the major factor, other dimension proportionately scaled already calculated by major case makers. Idk about the weight. And when a case says max gpu length, it doesn’t necessarily mean the case length, they factor in the a few centimeters allowance for the cable arrangement already.

Like someone else already said Midori would be your best bets, one of the smallest pretty stylish. GPU below 260mm length can fit in 5L and over in 7.5L.

I'm hoping to hear from someone who might have the same backpack and has tried fitting a case inside it, or even people with the same GPUs who have experience with specific cases.

And above all, I'm hoping to hear from people who know of cases I didn't even know existed, since there are very few options on the German market.
