Forgot about that.  Five/six years ago we had a "community" laptop (Herbie)
that whoever needed took home.
We got a kinda large briefcase whose origin was probably for a portable
typewriter, took it Herbie, modem,
xformer, cables, etc out to shipping and reciveing and had the whole
enchilada foamed in place.  Everything fit
nothing bounced about and pop the lid yer ready to go.  Don't know where you
can get stuff commercially
foamed in place but a little checking might get you a convenient travel pak.
