You know those huge, rugged cases that musicians generally carry their amplifiers and speakers around in? Yeah, those ones that are made to take years of abuse from touring and the like. Turns out there's a need for those kind of cases, but for desktop computers. Crazy as that may sound, CaseCruzer has just introduced its newest (and potentially wildest) product yet: the Apple Mac Pro Tower Case.

Anyone who does serious A/V editing will understand that the Core 2 Duo under the hood of the MacBook Pro just can't cut it during crunch time. Serious renders take serious horsepower, and sometimes that huge Mac Pro is exactly what you need to finish a project on a trip. If that's you, you now have a safe and secure way to haul your Mac Pro just about anywhere. The Mac Pro Shock Case is said to be a shock-proof and "indestructible" way to get your Mac Pro around, but once you get it strapped in there, we sort of doubt you'll ever take it out. In other words, you'll probably just pop the ends off at home and plug in your cabling, though this method definitely makes it easier to re-pack when it is time to hit the road again.

The case promises an ATA 300 rating and continuous shock-absorbing protection, and it will allow for all Mac Pro towers to be vertically mounted. Elastomeric shocks in each of the eight corners make the case vibration-proof and ideal for transporting heavy loads. Inside dimensions of the innovative CaseCruzer traveling case are 19" rackable x 20" deep x 7" high. And rail to rail, rack depth is 20". When empty, the protective computer case weighs 49 lbs. Of course, the $660 price may be jarring for some, but if your machine is as precious as we think it probably is, that's a small amount to pay for such security.

CaseCruzer -- Apple Mac Pro Tower Gets Travel Upgrade with New Shock-proof Portable Rack Case

MONTCLAIR, Calif., Dec. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- First-class fare may please travel weary, creative professionals. But the cushy seats and extra leg room won't reduce anxiety about the delicate computer that was tossed into storage. Turbulence. Air pressure. Baggage handlers. Now media artists and editors can enjoy fearless flying with the Apple Mac Pro Shock Case - the permanent, indestructible upgrade for priceless digital data by CaseCruzer.

Stress and shock have been grounded by the new rotationally-molded Mac Pro Shock Case. Fear no loss of the 32GB of memory and 4TB of storage offered by the portable Apple Mac Pro Tower. With an ATA 300 rating and continuous shock-absorbing protection, all trade-show exhibitors, motion picture artists, photographers, videographers, engineers, editors, web and graphic designers are free to roam about the country with their essential digital companion. The one-time price of protection is a ticket to peace of mind.

The shock-proof carrying case is equipped with TSA trigger latches and low profile injection-molded pull handles for easy man-handling. All Apple Mac Pro towers can be vertically mounted in the rugged case because it is fitted with front and back steel rack rails. Elastomeric shocks in each of the eight corners make the case vibration-proof and ideal for transporting heavy loads.

CaseCruzer knows creative business people want fast access to their data once they reach their trade show or board room. So the Mac Pro rack case has been designed to be fully operational as soon as the front and rear lids are removed. And for those who travel with more than one Mac Pro Tower, secure stacking of the carrying case is a cinch thanks to the added protection in the lids and sides that rotationally-molded engineering provides. Also, the doors can be opened and closed even when the cases are stacked.

Inside dimensions of the innovative CaseCruzer traveling case are 19" rackable x 20" deep x 7" high. And rail to rail, rack depth is 20". When empty, the protective computer case weighs 49 lbs.

Other standard advantages of the water-resistant Mac Pro Shock Case include: a sliding retractable handle, ambient pressure relief valve, oversized snap-down handles on each side, roller blade wheels for swift and safe mobility, and gasket-protected front and rear doors. The Mac Pro Shock computer case is virtually indestructible as it absorbs the shocks, impacts and vibrations that cannot be avoided when in the air on a train or merely driving this nation's highways and byways.

Graphic artists, gamers and media professionals of all kinds know the value of their Apple Mac Pro Tower workstations. They also realize costly breakdowns and setbacks are simply not an option. If the show must go on, go anywhere and everywhere with the CaseCruzer Mac Pro Shock Case.
