Laptop case finished

[Grinde]

Thanks for the tips Glider & martin_h

Here's my new imaging-box, that'll help me reduce cable-mayhem.

In the upper left corner is the 12v powercable, connected to the computer under the top layer of foam.

& upper right corner camera cable & guidecam cable, both connected under foam layer too

And in the bottom right corner a 4 slot USB hub, which is also connected with cable under the foam.

So finally a 'imaging package' that I can just pop open, plug in, & start shooting, with all computer-related cables stored within

(edit. small 'hole' to the left of the laptop is some space I made for the cooling-fan)

Not bad for 49EUR incl hub

Now all you have to do is cut a hole for the fire extinguisher.

Looks great. Hope you don't mind me asking but, how so cheap. Would you mind saying where you got the case from.

Thanks

Let's hope I'll never need one, but the case is airtight, I'll just slam the lid shut if I see smoke

Of course I don't mind, I bought the case here in Sweden at a local Chlas Ohlson store, but I just realised they got some stores in the UK too, I found the same case at the english site:

Instrument Case £34.99

I bought the USB hub 2nd hand from a friend, but the same model is available at the site:

USB 2.0 Hub £14.99

Still a pretty good price I'd say

Cheers!

Have you cut ventilation holes for the laptop?

Have you cut ventilation holes for the laptop?

Yup, the channel to the left of the laptop is placed at the vents, & also channels running underneath the computer. I think it'll be enough, since it's usually between -10°C/-20°C here when I'm out imaging (Northern Sweden)
