How should I carry an ATX Case?

Ok so tomorrow, I am picking up and buying a full ATX case from a guy that lives in my local town. However, I am only 15 and I will have to walk there and back which means I will have to carry the case. 

 

Should I try my best to:

1. strap it to my back with rope or something?

2. Use rope etc to carry with a kind of handle?

3. Try and fit it into my DofE Rucksack?

4. Just turn up with nothing and carry it like a man?

 

I have no clue what to do but I guess this relates more to the Lan party community haha, Please help

 

Thanks, Brennan Price

Do you own a skateboard or something that you could tie it too and push it home? If its not that far from your home you could just be a man and carry it.

Im 14 and particularly skinny and have carried my fully build pc in a NZXT s340 to my friends house witch is about 500m away from my house.

I used to own a skateboard. Mum got rid of that though. Also yes, there is quite a distance to carry it. About 3.5 miles or so. I would take a bus but I need all the money I can get because I need to pay a friend back for Star Wars tickets

Hmm. Why not ask your Mum to drive you or arrange a closer meeting place to your house to buy the case.

Empty case; If both sides come off, pull the sides and run a belt thru the case to shoulder carry. then carry the sides in your hands.

Or pop out the IO shield and do similar.

Maybe you can pay the guy like £10 more to drop it off at your home? Apart from that your best option is to just carry it.

Haha yeah, wish I could but he said he will be working when I collect it so I guess it will be done in his lunch break or something. Oh well, collecting from Stroud and walking isnt that bad
