Taking your trading on the road

Quote from fastpenny:

hefty,

I am going a international travel (vacation) for 6 weeks. I want to bring my Dell 2405 with me as well.

The problem is that I have hard time to find a carry on box to meet the size requirement (45" h+w+l). Did you try to pack your 24" in a carry on? I am not comfortable to pack the monitor in a check in box though.

Fastpenny,

The UK kinetics box I purchased...http://www.uwkinetics.com/I_1027transitcase.htm... I doubt can be carried on... double check with ur airline tho. However the case is rugged enuough to be checked. Make sure u go with the wheels and foam options (also tip the hell outta the skycab). My only problem with it is I cant fit the stand in the same case. I think it would be a problem even with a deeper model case.

The monitor is surrounded by 2" foam every side so it can take a beating. It is comparable or even better to the packaging the monitor came with. Good luck!
 
BTW, yes I checked the case to LAX and back... no probs! Get a sticker at ur destination to afix to the case for bragging rights.
 
thanks hefty, i found the box(s) you mentioned. they are indeed very tough boxes, but boy, they are heavy.

i tried every store to look for a lighter box that can be carried on, and the one come close still have about 47-48" l+w+d which is 2-3" over sized for carry on luggages. may be i'll have to bring 20" lcad instead:(
 
Hello from Key West this time. I didn't lug the 24in monitor this trip. Before coming down here, I picked up a verizon air card. Reception has been great. In theory I could be trading on the boat while fishing the color change. I was getting 500 kbs down at sand key, about 5 miles from key west.

I had my doubts about whether or not the verizon wireless internet would be sufficient but its working just fine. Charts come up quickly even running my filter and other services.
