Well, I have kind of an awkward tower - the Thermaltake Kandalf (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133152) and I'm trying to find a strap/harness to fit it without endangering the front magnetic doors. Most SECURE straps try to have a horizontal strap on it too, which is great and provides alot of cushion for the PC, but I'm afraid if I strap it horizontally, again, I'll damage the doors. I'm trying to find one that first of all fits a FULLTOWER (Tough already), and - if possible - has a vertical strap that I can loop underneath the front doors (From the top, across the 5.25 bays, then to the bottom)... Or really just something that would hold it well enough so that I don't have to worry about it. I believe it weighs about 40 pounds, which most suppose about 60-70 so I hope that isn't a problem. But if anyone has any ideas, it'd be much appreciated.

Thanks!

How about this (http://www.xoxide.com/sunbeam-lan-party-bag-black.html)?

Looks awesome. Thanks! The only concern is that the dimensions the bag lists are 550x205x570mm, my case would be 561x220x530 :(

How close do you think that would be? Plus, I'm not sure how they measure the dimensions with the Kandalf; if it goes +front doors, or not. The front doors leave some room (even when closed) for something like a strip of nylon, etc to get underneath it and around, but it doesn't tell me what the dimensions are referring to.

Edit: Blast, I didn't pay attention; the bag lists as H x W x D, the PC as D x W x H. That leaves the 15 mm to worry about. Think it'll be an issue?

Measure twice, cut once. ;)

You have the case right in your own home. I'd suggest measuring it yourself. It is a very wide case, but it's not like you'll be putting it in a box. Cloth has some give to it. But you should do some more research just in case. Perhaps Sunbeam makes a larger carry strap?

Have I ever told you that you're amazing?

Well, I went ahead and ordered it... I'll see if it works. if not, it's only $15.

:D thanks again!

Glad I could help. ;)

Let us know how it works. I've never used an after-market harness before so I'd be interested in the results. What you like, don't like, etc.

Just an update:

Got the harness the yesterday; fits the Kandalf series very well, almost ideally. It stops the doors from swinging if you put the flap over the front doors. Very nice pick Saphalline. Very sturdy too. This will cut out the mobility struggle.

Thanks again!

Cool! I'm glad it fits so well.
