Everybody needs a toy box or two...

Got this from a liquidator in Atlanta. It was set up for two plasma TVs, so it's a beefy case. I stripped out everything except the lengthwise upright dividers, added a few more dividers, some hooks, and some paint. Instant works box! I can load just about every cable I own, plus all my mic stands (25 in there at the moment) and my snake, and there's still room for more cables in the center bins. Plus, since it was set up for delicate electronics, it's super sturdy (built for truck pack) and the casters roll like they're attached to a cloud.

Total cost: $144 :hyper:

Great score Brent! :clap: :clap: :clap:

It serves to remind me that a larger unit could be just as good as a number of smaller units with the way you've organised yours.

I keep looking for similar items here, no luck so far.
I hope I can get one for a similar price to what you paid...

I was thrilled with that part. You can't even buy the casters for what I have in the case itself ($100). Apparently, this company just wants rid of these big boxes, as they sold the TVs out of them, and they're just taking up space.

Anybody else who wants one, keep an eye on eBay seller "AVForSale."

Looks HEAVY. I hope all your load-ins have ramps.
