    So I am going off to college and was thinking about getting a safe (since my school does not sell or provide them). But they are simply too hard to transport and too expensive. So I thought to myself, "hey why not get a metal attache case and a notebook lock, combine the 2 and attach it to my bolted desk." This way I not only have a laptop case, a lock, but I effectively get a safe since it would be very hard to move and is locked (good idea or no?). I would be mostly using my backpack (with books) for transporting my laptop from class to class but I could use the attache case if I just needed my laptop.

    So I guess my requirements are:
    -Not too expensive <$200
    -Big enough for a Dell SXPS16 (Width: 15.15",
    Height: 0.95-1.34", Depth: 10.02")
    -All or mostly metal
    -Not too heavy (made of lighter metals)
    -Double locks
    -And maybe...

    As an added bonus I would like to try and find a case (not necessary) that looks like the one Agent 47 uses (Hitman) :D. Mostly black with a some silver (pics are hard to find).

    Thanks!
