full tower mobility

[board2death986]

Quick question before work, i have the Thermaltake Armor full tower case, and was wondering if there are any strap options for mobility, because hauling this thing to LAN's is a complete pain in the ass, literally. . . .any options for me?

Make sure to lift with your knees, not with your back.

As for straps -- you'll still be picking up the whole weight of the comp. Personally, I just hold it to my chest by the bottom two furtherest away corners.

If you want to attract attention, transport it over distance with one of those hand trolleys

Other than that, if other things (CRTs, that type of thing) are causing physical trouble, the gym might be able to help.

thanks. . i guess, but that doesn't really say anything but the obvious. I lift with my knees, but that doesn't stop it from being alot of weight to balance. The idea isn't to try to lessen the weight, albeit that sounds rather impossible, just to put the weight onto something more managable with my hands. And i go to the gym, just for general health and fitness, and the only crt's i got are both in the closet. . . so yea. . more help, less guessing about why i wouldn't want to have to lift a huge box shaped piece of heavy metal next to my chest.

I'd make a couple of straps if I were you. I've done some searching recently looking for a strap on handle for a friend with no success.

I like my Antec Lanboy's carrying strap.

certain materials i should use? wouldn't want to use something that would snap as soon as i lifted the case 4 feet off the floor.

How about a PC-Transpo from DFI

I use on on my Lain-li PC60 (Got it free with my DFI Lanparty 875 Pro-B) and It's makes carrying around the PC much much easier.

I'm not sure if it will fit your PC tho.

nope, this thing is a FULL TOWER. . heh. I know there are straps for mid-towers, i can get those no problem, but im trying to find one to fit my oversized POS!!

Get some caster wheels.

I've got a Coolermaster Stacker, and I absolutely love the wheels it has.

My armor has 12 hdd and weights 70lbs. I have no problems with this strap...though I dont do hurdles with it either.
