I found a i5 8400 and board, but the case I'm looking at says mAtx and only board they have is ATX...;(

I got lucky and got 2 components for my i5 8400 build:

AS Rock Z370 Pro4
https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/Z370%20Pro4/index.asp
305 mm x 224mm


And:

AEROCOOL M-ATX CS-100
https://www.aerocool.com.tw/en/chssis/pgs-c/cs100
191(W) x 356(H)x 373(D) mm

Will this board fit in there? The website says both ATX and microATX but aerocool says only microATX. I won't need any fancy graphic cards , accessories or cooling, this is for work.

If not, a lot of cases have no specs in Thailand, if I go to a shop with measuring tape, what min mm. requirements will I need to make this work?

Is it possible to make the board fit by cutting wholes in it? And then disassemble the system for travelling?

I need something portable....

PS. Thailand has only 12 i5 8400 left, (68 000 000 population) and I got lucky to find one in a very small town, they won't get any for 4 months...;!)
