what kind of laptop do you have?

eMachines M5105 Intel Celeron 2.4GHz / 15.4-inch WXGA Widescreen ... Check the specs here: reviews.cnet.com

my bad...heres the direct link to the specs: reviews.cnet.com

macs are actually more of my specialty. i would probably do a search for cases or accessories for your computer on yahoo and see what it comes up with. there's lots of vendors out there making cases for laptops...you chould have a good selection of choices.

cool but i'm talking about protection for the laptop when its being used for SSL. If its too crowded or something i dont want it to get damaged, or do you think that isn't necessary?

no that's what i mean. you can find cases that will house your laptop when you are transporting it between gigs....to prevent damage whn you're not using it.

hire a bouncer.. if anyone gets too close there are history.

Odyssey makes one but its cutome design though

there is a case for the 15" albook or tibook that allows you to use it whilst it's in the case. It's aluminium (or aluminum :-) ) and I'm sure I saw it on Drbott's website once. I can't find it anywhere now though.

try googling or searching the mac forums etc.

When I spin ata club, I make sure the promotor knows there must be a security guard present by the equipment all night long or else I refuse to work and I still will keep the 50% deposit.

Nice thanks for the info guys...Stu, I'll try and look up that albook or tibook but if you come across it again please post and let me know. Thanks.

Try this: www.drbott.com (It's a link to the TiCase II for aluBooks...)

damn $400 ...that is expensive!

Yup, that 400$ are what scares me, too... but I think, it's the only one of it's kind. Everything else is just bags, second skins etc. But a lot of money to come up with. I think I'd rather get an insurance for my g4 ;-)

i have the TiCase...it really is the best case for your powerbook.

I will probably getting this little gadget for my PB for when I play at gigs. It doesn't protect it like the TiCase but it does elevate it and gives it a nice tilt and its stylish! Check it out: xt-stand.com

you might be better off getting an iBreeze if you are just lookin for a stand. the i breeze actually has fans that provide cooling as well as giving the copmuter a nicetilted surface to rest on.

Has anyone ran the iBreeze with a PB and using SSL? I know the iBreeze has a pass thru port on it but I still would want to plug my SSL directly into my PB so there goes both ports on my PB and I also use a firewire drive as well. So I am asking on a stability standpoint will things be ok if I went with this? If not I might just get a stand... but once I start bringing less vinyl and using SSL more and more I am sure heat will become an issue!

Firstly - heat will NOT be an issue unless you are in a very poorly ventilated club or spinning at Cochella in the middle of the desert. :P

I use the iBreeze and it works wonderfully. No heat at all when its on - it has a pass thru USB port so you lose nothing. Basically it will preserve the life of your CPU.

I have a MAC G4 17", powerbook 1.33ghz processor, and 1.25gigs of Ram.

yeah, the ticase is VERY nice, but it's not what I was thinking of. This case actually allowed you to just flip open the top of the briefcase and use the Mac whilst inside. like a panasonic tough book or something

I had another look today but can't bloody find anything. Try posting on forums.macnn.com?

ps, I've just upgraded to 10.3.5. Just gonna go see if SSL still works! :-)

Thanks DWL I will look into maybe making a purchase in the future.

Check out this case looking around on the MacNN forums! www.chromebags.com

nice! a proper flight case for your mac!!

you could always go all the way and mount your mac in one of these babies and just carry a 19" rack case :-)

the rack mount is nice but I think that would more suit a permanant installation instead of mobile one.

this is what I was talking about. Finally found it today
