Going Mobile - is THIS rack case OK?

[primemeat64]

So, I need a rack case.... I've read from you guys that SKB / Gator are rubbish and fall apart (although at the moment i'm not moving about alot or throwing gear in the back of vans...

saw this: Absolute Music Solutions: Warwick RC24004 4U Flightcase

Thought, hey great price (£42 delivered)... is it going to fall apart faster than a Gator / SKB though?

There's a Gator on ebay for £30 delivered... should I just get that?!


Any help / suggestions would be most appreciated thanks!

yes i'm trying to do the same

I was thinking of these guys:

flight case | 19 inch rack | ABS flight case

cheers for the link - hopefully we'll get some advice on these things... my instinct says it really depends on individual needs... so... for me for example I'm not lugging things all over the shop and having them fly around the back of vans so I'll probably suit the cheapest option avail - especially because if things change and I need something that can survive the rigours - I'll be able to justify a more expensive case plus I've only lost £30 - not even that If I can sell it on........ hmmmmm did I just answer my own question???

If like me, you're not going to be touring with the rig and just have to occasionally visit the odd studio/remote location every so often, I think a gator will be just fine!

The link I sent you has the gator style ones (plastic with bumps) but also the straight-edged ones... I think the latter look a bit more, ahem, "slick"

So i'll be going for one of those I think, but i've got more gear coming in all the time so I need to wait for a slack period before I can decide what size to get ehe

yeah I totally think I'm gonna go for either the cheap ass gator because looks aren't important at the moment neither is super ruggedness... also the link I suggested clearly shows the handle is on the front lid/cover - which is a big design flaw...

Any more ideas?
