Mobile Node 202 Ideas

Go to solution Solved by Fryeguy22,

Update! turns out most large camera backpacks with a single compartment are tapered at the top. I got the bag today and found it to be over 2 inches thinner at the top of the bag! 

 

After diving into all sorts of different types of backpacks for a wide array of use cases, I was turned onto luggage type backpacks by Kyle over on Bitwit! While he was talking about his Node 202 LAN party set up and the Ogio luggage bag he transported it in, I found that they make this style of bag in backpack form! 

after a quick search on amazon... Bingo! Almost all of the bags I found under "luggage backpack" had ample space.

 

The only downside I found was that most of these bags are not padded and also quite large. lucky I happen to have an old foam pad from my days on a tiny dorm bed that I will be using to fortify the bag when it gets here. I'm also OK with the size of the bag because I needed the extra space for my keyboard, monitor, mouse, drone and camera gear!

 

Here are links to the bag and a cheap bit of foam if anyone else was looking for a similar travel bag!

Howdy ya'll!

I just finished up a mobile workstation/gaming build in a Node 202 case. I'm very happy with the hardware I crammed in there and thermals I got from this case however, it is slightly larger then I expected (good for building bad for travel). I was hoping to fit this into a backpack for an upcoming series of trips but non of my backpacks fit this little monster. I know that a lot of "military styled" backpacks would work but I really can't rock that look. I found this one that I think would work (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MD26FGZ/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3E5K6GEFSI075) but I'm wondering if anyone has dealt with this or has any ideas? 

Thanks!

look for large DSLR bags - you can take the velcro out to create a large space for the node 202

Great idea Mok! I hadn't thought of a camera bag, and sure enough I found one with the right interior dimensions with extra depth so I can cram in my monitor and keyboard in as well! (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0761CJ6X9/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

Thank you!
