    So I am in need of a new bag for my computer/lan stuff.

    The items that need to be put into this bag are:
    17inch laptop
    21 inch LCD
    Headphones (they break down into 3 parts)
    Keyboard
    Mouse
    Power supplies
    Misc cables
    Misc small pockets for hdd/tv tuner


    Now, before you ask, "Why would you need a 21 inch lcd if you have a 17 inch laptop?"
    Well, I dont have a 17 inch laptop, I have a 11 inch laptop... but I want room to grow if needed.

    I like the Roccat Tusko, but I am not sure if I could fit a laptop in there too, anyone have one these that can check for me?

    All the other lan bags I have found are for towers/keyboard/mouse. Nothing really for a 21 inch lcd.

    If you know of something, let me know!

    Thanks.

    That does look like it would do the trick. Looks like I will have to order it and see though as there are no retailers near me that carry it.

    Yeah, and the lack of pictures/reviews online for both of these bags makes it hard to find out if it will even work for me.

    That video review was pretty stupid. Who brings random computer components to a LAN in a bag? A random power supply, and random graphics card, and a random motherboard all just sitting in a bag?

    What the heck is that about? :p

    I think either get a laptop or keep your computer in one piece.

    Wow. There is no way you'll find me ever sporting that ever, but I'm impressed it exists.

    Same here. I don't know who'd run a gaming computer without the case though. and carrying all that without ESD protection. I get that it was a joke (i hope :p), but still might at least give it a sense of credibility.

    Pretty sure it was meant to be a joke. No sane mind would use perfectly working gear without any ESD protection. Hopefully mine arrives sometime next week so expect a review when it arrives (my first one on NBR ever! :D) Need to see if a 24" LCD monitor would actually fit in it with adequate protection.

    I actually quite like that bag, I think it looks quite good, plenty of storage for everything you could need at a LAN. I'd still probably just go with a large duffel bag though and put the screen on the back seat of my car.
