Im particularly keen on the haliburton for moonlighting at CTU, or the Knomo Frinton for hanging out. Im betting slashdotters will prefer the on with solar panels?"

Personally, I bought a case similiar to the haliburton from Office Depot for $100 then packed the other $282.50 around the computer for protection and $.50 coffees.

I subscribe to two financial rules: 1)Don't spend the seed money. 2) It's all seed money.

Buy a cheaper case, find a simple padding solution and go save an entire african family for a year with the rest of the money.

I can imagine your righteous indignation schtick ends up being a BIG BUNCH of fun every time someone orders an extra hit of malt in their milkshake or orders a regular fries instead of a small. You'll always have that little nugget of information ready at the get-go about how that extra sixteen cents could pay for water filtration for a thousand endangered macaques in Nothern Kreplakistan.

Sometimes it's considered being frugal, but when you make it out like spending an extra couple hundred bucks for a case that has a LIFETIME WARRANTY to protect an invest of perhaps a couple THOUSAND dollars, you just end up sounding like a TIGHTASS.

I bet you're the type of person who contemplates turning the fridge off every now and again to 'save a few cents.'

Normally I hate hurling abuse and burning up karma but man, you made yourself sound like such an egotistical I-earn-$85k-a-year-but-still-clip-coupons-and-rati on-my-butter tightwad I just snapped.

I might just add that my father bought a set of Halliburton suitcases back when he used to be a travelling project engineer and it's lasted him 37 years and somewhere in the vicinity of six and a half million frequent flyer points worth of travelling. He still uses it to this day. I personally have a Halliburton briefcase that's lasted me seven years, about 1.2 million miles worth of travel, countless trips down stairs and other trials and tribulations in some of the most inhospitable parts of Northern Africa and bitter cold parts of Southern America (I'm a photographer in case you're wondering). I can't even begin to imagine how many dozens of $100 Office Depot briefcases I would have gone through during those times.

Imagine how many starving fucking African families that would save. Jackass.
