    To carry my stuff i usually use a luggage cart

    Though you might want to protect the case from the cart

    Carries everything!

    i usually put my lcd in a hoodie then shove it all in a duffle except for my case. I just make a second trip to the car for that.

    I put my computer in it's bag and the carry it with me. Also have a little keyboard which fits in it. It's good owning a barebones when it comes to moving around.

    The box my lcd came in has a handle, so I use that in one hand, case in the other, everything else in the backpack.

    Right now, my pos case has no sides and there is this cool litle handle thing that i use with one hand. Dont really care if i drop the case considering my sexy lian li is in the mail as we speak. As for my 19' crt, i just carry it and I stuff all my stuff in a "messanger bag" that I got from the EST Show last year. If i have to bring a server to the lan, then I use a duffle bag.

    EDIT- Post 699 :D :clap:

    Desktops are not designed to be moved frequently, so many are very heavy.
    I simply take a laptop to events. For those who frequently carry PCs, just buy a laptop.

    that just takes the fun out of going to a lan
    especially since most laptops wont run games like a desktop

    one summer i had a friend that would throw a lannie every week - although my case has 2 handles it was still a royal pain. in the end i got one of thos wheelie suitcases and bungie-corded the computer to its frame, with all the other stuff in the bag ontop of the case. i left a monitor at his house... 21" CRT = SuXoR to move... if i ever had to go any where else i would take my sisters LCD

    Last time I went to one with my equipment I used a hand truck, largeplastic milk crates with foam (to cover and secure the case), bungie cords, and a backpack.

    Had a shuttle, almost trashed it tripping over a box, but my current box is an atx tower with water cooling, and yes I can carry it under my arm, lol.

    CRT left shoulder, Aspire X-pider on right shoulder, backpack on back with everything else including my two 2 liters of pepsi. If feeling tired after working hard I will take two trips.

    I don't go to lans often (and when I do, they're tiny), but my case has wheels and I make a second trip for the monitor (or have a friend grab it)
