I found those things terrible, barely any space with all the dividers!
As for the pelican laptop overnight case, I checked out the video on pelican's site, and it looks like the compartment inside isn't padded (has no foam)
Also, with regards to coffin/flight cases and the like - i'd be very worried about taking those things to other countries, you'd get picked up by immigration as a musician in a flash. Ask anamanaguchi why this isn't something you'd want to advertise 
this is a bit of a downer....
i'm specifically looking to put my akai apc40 ableton controller in whatever case - something like this might fit the bill

I have two of those! They're OK I guess.
I've been hoping to find something similar to the soft case/sleeve I just got for my Dell Mini 9 
Of course, they don't make one for the DMG01. But maybe if there's a modern device of a similar size? Any ideas folks?

haha yeah, i was going to try playing overseas last summer, but couldnt figure a good sneaky way to do it as far as the electribe in time to work that out, none of the other gear for that setup looks like musical equipment

Well the GBs are just for carrying around campus and writing. No live shows at the moment, but when there is I play my bass not GB.
@sabre: ya there really isn't a lot of space available in it. I plan on doing some reconstruction on the inside and maybe throw some other equipment in there

I keep all of my chip related stuff in this little, red Masters of the Universe duffle bag. It's shifty, but it does the job.

I just use my laptop backpack now. fits my apc, laptop, gb, wires etc. carry it on the flight, no hassles (other than security checkpoints)
It's nice to have something that can be a backpack when everyone heads out to eat after the gig so you don't have loads to carry.
I used to use a flight case and a backpack when I had more live gear, thing is it was over complicated for little payback. Last gig with that setup was seattle, walking through the folklife crowd made my arms want to fall off.

We use a flight case that permanently houses two NES', a Game Boy, power strip, and a 10 channel rack mixer (we use 8 channels.) All cables are super short and/or zip-tied to fit perfectly. (foam cut outs hold everything in place. you can kinda see the layout in this pic: http://www.flickr.com/photos/retronics/4423167259/ )
It's super sturdy and makes setting up/breaking down extremely easy. Plug in the power strip and the two XLRs out of our mixer and we're good to go. Doesn't take up a lot of room, and when we're drunk and packing the van, we can drop if on the floor without messing anything up

I got a lil' plush case from an old Minolta camera which fits my beloved GBP perfectly, like a glove, with a little front pocket for some spare batteries. But... my other gear usually goes into cardboard boxes, especially those really heavy duty ones from Cub Foods. I can pack every last bit of Apple IIgs gear I have into one of those crates, and the other one for other misc. techy toys. I have a large box from concession stand nacho chips (classy!) that holds my Neo Geo MVS and a slew of shoeboxes, mostly from Nunn Bush and Sketchers which hold everything else. It's easy enough to move my gear when I actually need to, which is not so often. Mostly just those times when Low-Gain and Co. want to borrow some IIgs gear or when I go to a gamers night and bring the Neo.
