Packaging a computer monitor for a train ride.
This is a discussion about Packaging a computer monitor for a train ride. in the Windows Hardware category; I'm moving to Northen California , and I'm going ot take the train. I will, of course, be taking my ***-to- I mean, computer, and I wanted some input on transporting the monitor. I can throw the box in the box it came in, and check it, but the monitor is a 20 HP, and weighs a couple tons.
I'm moving to Northen California [from LA], and I'm going ot take the train [as usual]. I will, of course, be taking my ***-to- I mean, computer, and I wanted some input on transporting the monitor.
I can throw the box in the box it came in, and check it, but the monitor is a 20" HP, and weighs a couple tons. They won't check anything over 50lbs, or anything beakable [gl***]. I've seen straps for cases for LAN parties, is there anything like this for a monitor? My only idea so far is to rig some rope as a handle and put padding and something hard in front of the screen, and carry it on [hella redneck]. I ain't got the cash to ship it.
Any ideas?

I think Onvia.com has some monitor cases like that. If I remember right they are hard to find on the Onvia site so try the search function. Hope that helps
You may come off better just shipping it to your new address.
You'd be lucky if you can even get it in the train door!
OP
Well, I found some monitor cases, but they are all $200-500, so I'm still thinking....
I may end up using a smaller monitor until I can have someone drive it up for me. Damn, life without my 1280x1024, I don't relish that thought.
