Pelican Cases

[araugh]

It's tough as hell, and when you first look at the foam and how to cut it, it looks a little intimidating. The foam is 3 layers partially cut in 1/2" squares, so measure twice, just find the right line and a sharp kitchen knife. Easy.

I love pelican cases and use them for all my expensive equipment. The pick n place foam is a great compromise for rectangular objects but for odd shaped objects begins to tear apart the pick n place over time as you pull them in and out. I actually use a CO2 laser cutter to cut out odd shapes and it does an amazing job, accurate to within +/- .005. If anyone here at PL wants custom cut case foam I'll do it for half price. Normally it's a $50 setup fee and $40 per layer (if the layers have different layout, same layout is only $10).

Phredy the foam and such in those pelican cases look really really good.
Even though these are ment for a laser projector.
Would it be possible to get a pelican case for my desktop pc?
Since I will be using that more then A laptop in my first year of lasering, but I want to transport my pc with care A pelican case like that Would be really really usefull.

Since they make a ton of different size cases, I would think you could find a case for a desktop computer no problem. I have seen a Pelican case used with a small desktop PC and it works great. He (Slicklasers) mounted the LCD monitor onto the inside of the lid. Just open and turn on and go.

the pick and pluck foam doesn't last very long.

I saw that the pick and pluck foam might have issues over time with squares coming loose and falling out, so I glued all my foam together. I'm hoping I solved the problem before it developed.

IMO the pick and pluck foam is the weak point of Pelican Cases. But, how else could you make a case to fit anything without it? Custom foam would be an option if it starts to give me problems someday.

Pick and pluck is shit. We always had custom foam inserts cut
