Heads up Larger than large cases.

This one's for the absolute hardcore case tragic, found at Super Cheap, Commando Cases, note that there is no foam in these cases, they are empty but they're ENORMOUS.

Size is 1200x550x410, big enough for almost any conceivable use.

I know Sir h0ugh was looking for cases big enough to fit the EQ8 tripod, I suspect this case would fit the whole mount, tripod and all with room to spare.

Had I not bought the larg bunnings case I would be tempted to try and fit everything in one of these for our Astrofest Oddessey. I think the price shown on the ticket is for the big one $239.00

I was going to mention body parts, Frankenstein conventions etc, but I thought it might not get past the mods...The bloke at Supercheap said they're a favourite amongs Chicken Rustlers....

I seem to remember it did, but I think only one end. I'll be near that shop tomorrow, would you like a further report??

Don't forget they're empty, no foam. I forgot to add, they have a weather seal on the lid as well.

If you look closely at the slightly smaller case at left on the upper shelf you'll see the wheels.
