[Novalug] OT? : laptop case?

[Beartooth]

  	Now that I have a laptop that does both show topo maps 
and talk to my GPSs, I'm starting to plan ways of using it. The 
first thing that strikes me is that when once I have my landmarks 
spotted, it'll mostly stay in its case; in fact, it'll spend a 
lot of time there when I'm alone, too, and there's no nice soft 
lap available for it to ride on.

  	The first thing I did with each of its predecessors was 
to cut an envelope for it out of an old Ensolite pad. (Anybody 
remember them? I've still got mine.) The whole shebang, computer 
in ensolite envelope, goes into a nylon case; and one wardriving 
expert of my acquaintance recommends *hanging* it from a trunk 
lid with bungee cords.

  	I can do that easily in the truck, using the gun rack 
behind the seat; and probably also in Jo's trunk, if/when it goes 
anywhere in her car. I don't see how I can do it in the old 
hatchback; I might be able to keep it on the back seat somehow 
...

  	But what I'm thinking of at the moment is a pistol case. 
A good solid metal one, with lots of foam inside. IF (big if) 
they make them big enough. The thinkpad measures 10" x 12 1/2" x 
1 1/2" -- *without* any ensolite envelope. It'd have to be a case 
meant for three or four handguns at once, and preferably with 
extra space for mouse, cables, thumbdrives (Hey, I gotta be 
*able* to run linux on it!), power converter, etc., etc.

  	Anybody perchance familiar with such cases?
