    I know there's another thread but I can't find any info I wanted. So any suggestions besides the orignal dell bag? And I don't want it to scream out that I have a notebook. The crumpler looks good but dude its 150 bux, too much for me may be something like areound 80-100?

    If you like the crumpler bag (I think they are great, btw) try Ebay. There are several vendors. I bought from Photoco- their prices are about a third off, and very reliable- actually, quite amazing for an Ebay company. I know even if Photoco doesn't have what you want listed- email them- and they will order it for you. A backpack I bought was mislabeled (a manufacturer error, not theirs- the packaging had the right label, but the bag itself was the larger size) and they really went the extra mile to take care of things and make sure I was happy- and even offered a small refund for my inconvenience. Depending on which bag you are looking for, you should be able to get one in your price range. The new crumpler embarrassment line is a really nice, light-weight messenger bag (the considerable embarrassment is for the 15"- I am not sure of the name for the 17" one). It is the lightest laptop bag I could find anywhere (28 ounces) with decent padding and good construction.
