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

[funke]

I'm actually thinking about buying some old suit cases at a garage sale, gutting the innards, and lining them with memory foam to hold my controllers. You can do three layers of the stuff. One for each lid and the middle layer cut out for your equipment. Bingo bango custom flight cases.

Check out some of the rifle cases on Amazon. There is multitude of "Pelican style" road cases, but a lil cheaper.

e.g. 46" x 5.5" x 16" = $85

Yeah home built is an option; if I had more regular access to a wood shop I'd pursue this more aggressively but I am still holding out on something easy and professional looking...

I didn't realize those were so dirt cheap. I've been racking my brain for other types of non music equipment that would fit the bill, unfortunately, rifles (long guns) are a bit long for these units.

i guess I should have been more clear; I am hoping to have a separate case for each of them, and also be able to leave them in the cases while I use them (ie, removable lid... which seems mostly unique to music gear).

The trouble is, those acer monitors have a pane of glass that runs right out to the edge of the unit with nothing protecting it... one of them got side swiped by a beer bottle (or something) and I had to fill the chip with epoxy... So I am basically looking for something that will help with light travel and the booth environment.

This certainly hasn't been a painless process. I stopped into guitar center to check out a roadrunner case that seemed to be a good fit, but the dimensions provided were for the exterior, not the interior (lucky they had one in stock on location for me to check out)

I've just ordered a pair of these; hopefully Odyssey knows how to use a ruler and their specs are as advertised... if so I should be able to cut/rearrange the foam to get a nice snug fit, otherwise I'm stuck with the amazon returns runaround and more digging through the Lego bins of the internet:

I was thinking gun cases in general might work as there is also some dual pistol cases that might have worked, but hey at least the oddesey ones will protect them properly and already have the lift off lids
