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
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...0446076&PID=6146836&SID=idxvqp4etx000a1700053
12 lbs
18.5" x 7.48" x 17.08"
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133190
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?
