I can't imagine this being a "tech tip", so I'll move it to Do It Yourself Projects. If you get no action there, please report it using the red triangle in the upper right and we'll move it again.

Hi there hewee:

Thanks, just to let you know the link http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/s...productID=3112 is for the bigger older monitors I mean the LCD TFT Flat Screens... To be more accurate here is a link on the exact monitor that I have...http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/sys/196625187.html So this way here it will make it easyer for you to find the caring case for the monitor...

Thanks

We have a company in NZ that do these, custom built:
http://www.hardcase.co.nz/cases.html

They are very good, but my concern would be that by the time you get a case that you "carry & to be protected from damage" it will be so cumbersome that you will need a barrow to actually carry it.

If the tower case is robustly made, fitting a handle to the top (reinforcing insde the tower case at the anchor points) may also work, but the links above with the straps would be better.

Hi there Kiwiguy,

Just to let you know there that is not what I'm really looking for, what I am looking for is to carry a LCD computer monitor around that protects it from damage and other stuff... I've went to your site that you've send to me, and that is a good site don't get me wrong but its the wrong one... if you want to see on what i am talking about http://support.gateway.com/s/MONITOR...005533nv.shtml the picture is at the bottom...

Give them a call and see if they ship there.

Nice thing about cyberguys is they have a warehouse now for the west coast on the other side of town.
There is not really a store to see everything but you can still buy things from a store out in the front that is some type of geek store buy doing it tru there Catalog and they just have someone bring it up from the warehouse.

They have a Sister Site too. http://www.x-tremegeek.com/

Yea I've just e-mailed them on what I've wanted to know, its just that down here in Vancouver BC Canada they don't have very much to offer when it comes to stuff like this, if there is its like in downtown vancouver, where I am is in a city called Surrey near the skytrain... you know Whalley area!! Look it up if you want, down here is very great place to live and many many different things to do as well for all ages & styles..

Thanks
