Switching Cases: Would this Work?

When I bought my computer, I bought an Alienware Aurora.

This mastodon is over 45 lbs in the case alone.
I'm going to now be traveling between school, home, and work a lot. I wanna gut this case and put all my components in a lightweight, easily carried LAN bag or something.

Please post if you need a closer inspection.

MY PLAN:

I would like to gut it and put the components into a smaller, lighter case. Nothing exceeding like, 15 lbs.

Some Possible Cases

12 lbs
18.5" x 7.48" x 17.08"

11 lbs
19.10" x 7.90" x 16.70"


MY CONCERN

My Aurora was originally a lot bigger than those cases, but the components seem sort of spaced out.
Would it be possible to cram the components into a new case? Specifically of those dimensions? If not, suggestions?

That looks like a micro ATX motherboard, so you just need a case to fit that. Since the GPU is shorter than the motherboard, you don't really have to worry about space for it.
