How To Travel With LCD Gaming Screen?
johnpagenola asks: "My 17 year old son will start traveling this Fall to fencing tournaments, but he needs his gaming fix over the weekend. How best to travel with an LCD screen to protect it from damage? Is there a way to put together a storage device for LCD with speakers, SFF system unit, keyboard and mouse?" Other than "buy a laptop," can anyone suggest some travel-proofing tips for such a set-up?
The first thing I thought when I saw this article, was how can I say what I really think, without sounding like a troll. I'd love to offer some constructive ideas on how to ship the LCD sceen, but I have not yet been blessed with the superfluous money that this child seems to have.
As a parent of this gaming nut, I would be concerned more about my child's admitted gaming addiction, than finding a safe way to perpetuate the behaviour. They could modify a briefcase, build a wooden box with packing foam lining it, or they could solve the problem by telling their dear addicted gaming nut, that no he is not allowed to transport his desktop unit to every corner of the world. When he is in a new place, doesn't he want to see the sights? Is the computer mearly an intellectual crutch, or is there another reason for taking it?
