Well, I've been searching on ebay but have had no luck. I'll keep
looking, but I'm thinking that I'll turn these grapes into wine.
Looking at a hard shell samsonite briefcase that came up on one of the
(more generic) searches, I think I may go for discarding the case
altogether.
Hrmmm... If I design this right, the briefcase will act as the case, and
I'll only have to drill two holes. ;] Maybe even add a handcuff so that
I can chain it to my wrist (ooooo... secret agent-like even)!
Have to think and do a little creative design here. To give more info,
this will be acting as my home mail/web/news server when I get over to
Germany, as my Celery 466 will be staying here with a friend of mine
(allowing uninterrupted service... in theory).
If I end up doing this mod, I'll definitely bring it by one of the
Friday meetings.
