Shopping for Gear Cases By Dimensions?.. Custom Built Solutions?

[Traxus]

So I have some custom gear I've made and I'd like to get a better travel solution for it...

Basically its a giant hacked together android tablet, uses an Acer Touch Screen Monitor which is a little fragile.

I dug around guitar centers website a bit, but they aren't super reliable when it comes to providing dimensions and somtimes don't tell you whether its the inside or outside.

Anyone have insight on this?.. I am even open to hiring it out but I don't want to spend more than maybe $120/200... The units only run me about $550 to build so its a bit silly to pay much more, thanks.

I took a glance, a little frustrated that their advanced search doesn't let you filter by dimensions :-/

Do pelican cases have removable tops? Hoping for something similar to a flight case for a 1200

you will notice they do custom work...not sure of pricing. if you email them and tell them what youre hoping to box up , they could probably point you the right direction, as far as existing cases or tailor made.

What software is on the monitors?

Wow, not to get off topic but do you have a video of your setup in action. Love the built in bar all you need are people lol.

So I dug around the site some more, found their search by size function... Buried and clunky but better than nothing. Sweetwater.com has a nice checkbox filter system but no stock to match my needs either :-/

Looks like most of their stuff is going to be too deep (their cases tend to be deeper than 9 inches)... and the best fit for one of these units would cost ~$300 which could practically buy me a third screen (could actually replace the monitor if i break it for that price)...

Back to the drawing board here, I have to imagine their custom solutions are similarly expensive.

Dimensions I am trying to fit are 23" long by 14.5" wide by 3.5" tall

The software is an App called Lemur, it is like Touch OSC on steroids, you get to layout and program your own touch screen midi interfaces.

Here a discussion and video of running two of them with a mixer:

Bar is the reason I need cases for the suckers. Already got a nasty chip in one of the monitors!

Welcome to the world of good sturdy flight cases.
They cost a lot of money and prices have little baring on what goes in the cases.

A custom made flight case is worth the expense - especially when (when not if) you drop something.
It also gives you piece of mind when stuff is in transit.

Well, I would totally shell out if I was actually flying with these and putting my faith in TSA, guess I'm looking for more of a road case sort of deal for now...

Anyway, long story short, I basically had to play 'find the lego' while shopping for this. Dug through about 4 diffrent websites with varying degrees of filtering mechanisms. I think I finally found a case that will fit them (going to check it out in store at Guitar Center)... Annoying that no one actually lists the internal dimensions (even the mfg) of this brand of cases but luckily another customer mentioned it in the comments.
