Computer-Case Reviews

I use one of these to haul arround a new Mac iBook computer. Currently it contains the computer, it's power supply, a car and plane power supply, two external hard drives (VST 20 Gig firewire) A high quality analogue to digital convertor (M-audio), it's power supply (huge!), a flashlight, two large reinforced nylon bags with audio and digital cables (ethernet, usb, firewire, telephone), maybe 12 to 15 total, but they are thick heavy cords, a compact flash reader, a hotsync cable for palm, a full size mouse, a mini usb hub a couple of manilla file folders, headphones (two sets 1 medium one small) and a short stack of CDRs. Even with all of this stuff inside the bag looks and works great!! The main section zips completely open, and lays flat for total access to the computer. The area where the laptop goes is lined in synthetic fleece, and extra padded bumpers can be velcro'd in all around the laptop to fit it exactly, while providing superior protection. A velcro strap holds the computer snugly. on the outside (of the inner section) is a slot pocket (where the hard drives go). To the outside of this is a deep pocket covered by a leather flap with velcro fastener, there are also 5 or 6 smaller pockets in this section for flashlight, Palm, some cables etc.The back section unzips but only opens about 25 degrees, forming an expanding accordion-file folder with divider. The outside of the case on this side has one of those slots for slipping over the handle on luggage with built in wheels. This bag looks great, the black "Nappa" leather sides match perfectly with the (synthetic??) center section and piping. The feet keep the bag slightly up off the floor, the handle is very sturdy and slip resistant padded leather. The shoulder strap is very flexible and is clearly built to last. A very sturdy and capacious bag that looks like it cost a bundle. This is a great bag! Looks good too!

An extremely spacious, durable, and affordable bag. I was very impressed with the beauty of this product and the amount of compartments that it has. I use it to carry my laptop, mouse, webcam, digital camera and alot of other supplies that I may need for my classes. I would highly recommend this product as the best buy. If you're thinking about purchasing this bag go ahead, i'm sure you will be 100% satisfied.

This is the Cadillac of all carrying cases

I had recently purchased a Samsung LTN 325W flat panel television. As you may/may not know, LCD televisions tend to receive analog signals poorly. That was no exception when I used the standard composite cable provided with the Gamecube and hooked it up directly to the Samsung. I decided to give Monster's S-Video cable a try, and I was fortunately not disappointed. Using an S-Video cable separates the color and brightness of the video signal, allowing it to be processed cleanly and more accurately. In addition, it allows you to utilize the Gamecube's progressive scan output. The result, a sharper, more vibrant picture. Give it a shot with Mario Golf and Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. There were definitely improvements.

Why suffer with RCA video cables anymore? There is a better way to hook your game system up and it's with S-Video. I don't know all the techno babble and why S-Video is better. All I can tell you though is it is. The picture looks a lot better throught S-video than it does through a coax link or RCA cables. There are a couple of different brands of the cables you can get out there, but I'm impressed with these. The long 10 feet cables are great and sturdy. It has gold connectors which are suppose to help give a better picture.

This is the best way to view your video game system. It's clear and crisper and provides a slightly better gaming experience. This brand of cables is kind of pricey, but is suppose to be one of the best. Just hook up on S-Video and enjoy.

I am mostly writing this to correct a comment made in the previous review. S-Video does not enable progressive scan output, only component video allows that. The Gamecube component video cable is only available through nintendo's website. Aside from that, this is the best way to hook up your gamecube!

This notebook case fits a Presario 3045 perfectly (a large 16" laptop)! Very well made... only slight concern is the handle... a little more free-play/swing when carrying the unit than ideal. Since I rarely actually carry the laptop (used as a desktop replacement)... it is fine. The price was outstanding, as compared to the Targus site... and even a wholesale offer from an acquaintence in the retail PC business! No reason not to purchase this item!

I recently bought this case to hold my 17" HP7000 notebook and it's almost like it was made for it.

It has a good amount of storage on it -- nice big pouch in front that I have to use for my power adapter. It also has other pockets in the pouch for pens, etc.

The inside has plenty of addition pockets for cd's, business cards and more, and the padding in nice and thick for protecting the computer.

The back has another small pouch for paper, and also an additional zipped compartment with a separator for important papers.

I'm very impressed by the all metal hardware and the large rubber padding on the bottom edges.

This is an excellent case, and the price is a huge bonus. I found it recommended on a forum and am glad that I took their advice, and wanted to pass that along.

The only con that I found is that if you've got a 17" notebook and you want to bring along your power adapter and an additional battery, you will run out of room. Aside from that, go for it!

This case fits easily 15.4" widescreen laptops and you still can place battery on the side. A 17" laptop would probably fit too (I never tried), but the battery won't into the main compartment. Most stores like BestBuy or CircuitCity have this case on display so if you want to use this case for 17" laptop, go to the store and check it out. But buy it here, it's $60 in the stores... (currently the price on amazon is $46.54) For smaller laptops (14" or 15") check out CBT300 Targus case.

Main compartment of this notebook case has two parts with adjustable width: a bigger part is used for laptop itself, and smaller one can be used for battery and power unit. A little nice zipped bag for these two is included. In the middle of the main compartment there is a strap that fixes a laptop in place and it feels really secure.

There are two zipped pockets for files and documents - one inside and one outside. There are two more pockets outside, I used them to put there magazines when I travel.

Overall, this case has very solid feel and is really well padded. The rubber Compu-Tread that runs on the outside of the case (bottom and sides when standing) is very good protection.

One thing that might be of concern is that shoulder strap cannot be adjusted to be really short. I experimented and the shortest I got was 3'6" (provided, you want to keep padded part of it in the middle). For people shorter than medium height that could be a problem.

Other than that I am really happy with this case. It looks stylish and slim, goes well with both casual and business attire. And Targus has lifetime warranty on it. I would recommend it 100%!

The CDs are performing pretty well so far, although I haven't gone through the whole pack as of yet. The extra 50MB is great if you need a CD with 700MB, if not then it's just a luxury. The slim cases (slightly thicker then the CDs themselves) are also a nice touch if you are like most people and have endless rows of CD jewel cases on their desks. All in all a solid performer.

If you use a LOT of CD-R's, these are great. They're almost blank on the back (just silver) - which is a plus if you're running off good copies, or just like to decorate your cd's a little. And the slim case keeps your CD racks from filling up TOO fast. ....

In my experience TDKs have always been a solid performer and this product is not an exception. The slim cases that are only a little thicker than the CDs themselves are a nice touch. Anyone who has an endless wall of CD jewel cases will understand. If anyone is really picky, the writing surface doesn't have preprinted lines to write labels. I personally don't have a preference, but some of you might. All in all, it is a solid buy.

The computer case is actually a mini tower Antec Lanboy. It is not a mid tower as described. I bought this item thinking it was a alumininum mid tower.

I was sceptical of spending so much money on a case when in the past I have had great success with cheap no name cases and PSU's. After hearing the horror stories of bad PSU's gone wild I decided to invest in Antec. This case rocks. Slick color and just the right size for my MB. The door at times of annoyance hides the ugliness of my unmatchable drive colors. After looking into studies on aluminum vs steel decided to go aluminum. For an aluminum case with pre installed window and psu on top of that you really can't ask for a better deal. All in all. Always had good service with Amazon and and have heard nothing but good things about Antec. Now I am not only sold on amazon but also ANTEC.

I owm this case, and have for a while now. It is a good product and the only reason I am getting a new one is because I need more ports for peripherals.

Looks great too. I have two of these, one for my firewall and one for my database, both at home. The case is very sturdy despite the nice looking plastic. The motherboards install very easily and all of the mounting hardware is included, and snap in. No problems whatsoever with my standard ATX boards. The side panel comes off with one screw and two tabs, and fits exceptionally well. There is also a handle on top for carrying the unit. I see no weaknesses in the case. Friends often compliment them, and the color is perfect. The case is also quiet, very little noise, the power supply is very adequate for my use (linux/bsd machines with no heads, but many network cards) and the rear panel has pop-out pieces to fit your board.

I've assembled a fair number of machines myself and this case ranks right at the top. I would and will buy this again.

This item is a great help for folks who like to keep things organized, and don't want stuff rolling around in their trunk. We keep tools, a towel to kneel or lay on if the car breaks down on the side of the road, paper towels to wipe dirty hands, jumper cables, emergency flares and triangles, etc, in it. It keeps everything neat and in one place, instead of scattered around in the car!

These folding "bags" are great! They're actually box-shaped and make great replacements for cardboard boxes in some instances. I use them for holding lots of different things:

- groceries in the back of my pickup,
- my winter survival gear,
- unwrapped Xmas presents,
- dry goods in the pantry,
- an extra sleeping bag,
- clean socks and underwear.

The bags feature external web pockets, zipping covers, and sturdy handles. I do wish the sides were a bit stiffer since I don't need to fold them very often anyway. The lack of stiffness is the only thing that keeps these bags from being the perfect cardboard box replacement.

I bought about ten of these when they were on sale a while back. I wish I had bought at at least twice as many!

I just got my camera case in the mail today, I was a bit of a pain to locate a good case but it looks like it was worth the wait. I'm quite pleased with it, nice leather and construction the only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is because its about a quarter inch to small in height but luckly the leather will strech, I hope. (I have a ex-z4u)

can you tell me if you have this case in stock? are you have other case for exilim with photos? if you have can you sent me this photo by e mail? i waiting your request. thanks!!!!!

This pouch is all leather. Divided in 2 pockets, one for the camera and the other big enought for another battery,memory, money or credit cards. It comes with a strap an a loop for a belt.
I recomended.

I purchased this item recently for my Compaq Presario 1680 Laptop. I thought that there would be more padding in the case to help protect the computer while I was taking it on trips and such. However, it did not have as much padding as I had hoped. There is some and it is a nicely constructed items (ie., zippers, pockets, etc), but I wish there was more protection.

This is a good looking and well made product. There is a lot of room for all sorts of computer extras. I'm ordering a second one when done writing this. If you need more protection for your laptop then check out a Haliburton case but for the most of us this is the real deal

It's just an excellent product: good materials, sturdy construction, easy to pack alot into it. One main compartment for the machine, an external sleeve, an inside pocket, a pocket for CDs or cables, business card holder and a couple of other pouches. The shoulder strap is comfortable and sturdy.

I checked around with many different vendors, and thought this looked like a good choice. The bag is made entirely from synthetic materials, no leather on this one. And it's a good price. Definitely worth the money if you're looking for a soft, slick bag for a laptop
