    Just got it in the mail from Newegg for $55 shipped.
    Newegg.com - Wenger Black/Gray 17" LEGACY Computer Case Model WA-7497-14F00

    1600x1200 Pics can be found HERE.


    Quality seems stupidly good for the price and I thought I'd share :)

    Padding only looks an inch or two thick but its HARD foam that I feel confident in protecting my computer. Bottom padding is about 2x as thick as the sides/top.

    Same type of padding as any of the Brenthaven bags with the "CORE" system. Padding on all 6 sides. Go ahead, throw it up in the air or against your wall. Nuttin.

    This "Legacy" bag looks really bland and old school though. Good price though I have to say.

    Should've bumped the Backpacks thread, and put a link to this. Know what, I think I'll do that right now, and put a link to this in the OP! :)

    I really like the "old school" business look... nice and clean. Looks like an awesome computer case. However, if the R3 is as heavy as the R2, that would wear me out packing the system through airports all day long. A backpack or wheeled case is a must for me.
