Im particularly keen on the haliburton for moonlighting at CTU, or the Knomo Frinton for hanging out. Im betting slashdotters will prefer the on with solar panels?"

I subscribe to two financial rules: 1)Don't spend the seed money. 2) It's all seed money.
Buy a cheaper case, find a simple padding solution and go save an entire african family for a year with the rest of the money.

If I want something cooler I will make it myself (90% because I am cheap, 10% because I enjoy making stuff)
The coolest "bag" on there in my opinion is the halliburton, but for almost $400, I would just buy a small stainless briefcase or suitcase (maybe even used) (thanks to the internet, finding a funny size suitcase/briefcase is fairly easy) and then hit up the craft/hobby store and get foam padding. Heck, I might even buy a cheap laptop bag from walmart, and cut out the pen holders and all and affix them to the inside of my homemade "bag."
The wood case is cool though- but A: My laptop is a tool, and as such "fine wood" really isn't an option and
B: I can't see spending thousands for a nice wooden custom case for a tool I replace every couple years....

So I bought a Danish school bag [fatiguesarmynavy.com] at the local amy surplus. I got a sleeve for the laptop, which all fits in the bag. Then I grunged it up with some paint and iron-on patches to make it look like nothing nobody would want to steal. For extra padding, I can put my towel in it.
About the only thing less likely to get stolen would be a diaper bag with Barney all over it.
