Okie so I need some help with some transportation methods for my computer. Originally, I just decided to carry it wherever I go, which worked for a while...until I dropped it...>_< Yes that's right, I dropped my whole deskop x.x Lukily, only broke the rad box and warped the case so a new rad box and a new case fixed that mishap... *ducks from stuff being thrown* I am only 100 pounds carrying a 50 pound computer! It's hard! XD Anyway, I wanna prevent me dropping it again, so I was thinking of like, one of those lan party bags but I think with the way the rad is on the back, it either wouldn't fit or if it shifted around it would break the rad box again. Someone suggested I put wheels on it but when I drag it across the road or something, maybe too much vibration is bad? o.o So yeah...anyone have any ideas? A pic of my compy is below, thankies!

I considered those, I am just concerned about it knocking off my rad box, or will that not be an issue? Plus I would need to find a different one of those since my case is full size x.x

In that case, make your own. You can get industrial velcro & nylon strips will do the trick.

You can make that to your own spesifications

Put it into a large rolling suitcase filled with bubble wrap.

Mount everything internally. You won't clonk your rad when you drop it if it's inside the case.

Knoxis: Umm...I am kinda not a man...>_>
TestECull: That is an idea I considered, but the point was to NOT drop it XD. Plus I dont have the drive bay space if I do that. A 360 radiator doesnt fit well inside the Antec 1200 without screwing over all of the drive bays XD

Get some billeted handles from MNPCTech or go to Home Depot or Lowes and buy some. They are really easy to install and are pretty strong.

drill an axle through it and put large rubberized wheels on it. the larger the wheels, the less vibration. something like 6" diameter would be good, you can put the axle so that the wheel base doesn't extend too far from the bottom of the case and look weird. then get one of those extending handles.

or you could go cheap and just carry it around on a dolly or a rolling cart. they have those rolling file carts for mad cheap at orifice depot or similar. put it on a pillow or two to reduce vibration and you're set.

Hmm, I like the wheel cart with pillows idea, especially since I don't have access to bubble wrap lol.

Knoxis: No need to worry, it prolly wasn't THAT obvious XD
ChielScape: I hate you...XD jk

Sorry if I missed something... but why are you carrying it accross the street multiple times?

Oh, you wanna know the story? XD Okie well, cause I work at a tech shop, so sometimes when I am stuck, I get my coworkers to help me so I bring it in to work so when we take a break, we play with my computer. And one time, it ended disastrously lol.

No, it'll clonk everything else inside of it when he drops it.

Side note: I wish there was a better way to show gender on this website...lol
