I have an Alienware Aurora R13 (not the latest) that's a bit bulky

I'll be doing some traveling for work and would like to bring it with me to set up in an apartment but don't want to just throw it in the back of my truck with the rest of the stuff

Any recommendations on a good transport case?

A case won't help much of anything. Computers travel relatively fine in vehicles

I'm mainly worried about something liquid spilling on it

Id probably just put it in a spot where liquid won't spill on it then. How much spillable liquid are you bringing with you?

A couple of hefty garbage bags should protect it just fine unless he is raking it scuba diving.

Do you mean the exposed to the elements bed of your pickup truck?

Until you unload it in the rain, drop it because you tried to carry too much shite while unloading, etc.

I traveled for a few years with a desktop/dual monitor setup. I highly recommend the Pelican case linked earlier for any routine traveling because something will eventually happen to where you will be glad you have a case.

Don't be a retard and try to carry your computer with other things? A really easy one to avoid

But I also would just throw a trash bag over my computer if I was worried about moving during the rain.

But not in truck beds.

What if I prefer to be mildly retarded in regards to packing/unpacking for trips, so I can focus on more important issues?
