    Hello. I have recently bought a Sager 17" NP5760 notebook, which is kind of large but very nice. I'm looking to buy a backpack to be able to snugly fit it as well as other accessories, like my power adapter, Zalman 5.1 surround sound headphones, external floppy drive, Logitech mouse, ExpressCard audio card, CAT5 cable, etc. I don't really care if the backpack is large or heavy, that's fine with me. But what I'd really like is one that rolls or is wheeled too. For example, the Targus XL Notebook Backpack seems like a great backpack, but it's not wheeled, where as the Pacific Design Action II Rolling Backpack XL is wheeled, but doesn't seem all that great. Does anyone have any preferences or reviews on some good rolling backpacks for my needs? I hate the design/look of briefcase bags or other similar cases, so it must be a backpack, or like a backpack, as I not only want to roll it but obviously carry it on my shoulder. My budget is preferably under $100 but I'd still like to hear everyone's suggestions. Thank you. :)

    Thanks, but I can't seem to find any rolling backpacks there. Can you give me a more direct link? Also, it seems like their prices are quite high. Any other suggestions? :)

    Yes, but not quite what I was looking for. Any other places? What if I upped my budget to $150? Thanks. :)
