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.
