Good, durable case?

Post by PhookYu »

Anyone know any cases that are similar to Ben's pelican case laptop? And is cheap in price?

Pelican cases can be cheap. If you don't mind used, you can get them for pretty cheap on ebay.

There's also these kind. They're not as stylish, but they get the job done.

Try Google Shopping for that stuff and you can usually find a good deal.

My Pelican case was only about $80. Not very bad.

Yeah, I found a Pelican 1490 for $85. I really want a pelican case only. And do you know any Pelican case that would surely fit a TV and Xbox 360? Thanks :D

I saw a case at Home Depot that looked really similar to the Pelican case. I think it was either $20 or $40, less than the Pelican, anyway.

Do you remember if it was just the case or with tools and whatnot in it? And do you think you can find it on the website for me? Thanks everyone for the posts :D

It was just the case. I couldn't find it on their site.

Another question. I could use a LCD TV instead of a computer monitor right? Would the power supply wiring be the same as the computer monitor?

You could most certainly use an LCD TV instead, but I'm pretty sure they're almost always a lot thicker than monitors. And I'm almost positive the power supply wiring would be different.
