Who's got one and what brand, price did you pay etc...

I have a compaq x6000 on the way and need to find a bag.

The laptop has a 17" widescreen, so i'd imagine it has to be a healthy sized case..

Preferr one that rolls, as I travel on occasion.

Would like one that can hold an external hdd case as well as the laptop and it's few cables/powersupply...

Targus makes a bunch but I honestly don't know which ones will fit...
 
I have a Samsonite (no model number, durnit) that's been pretty good. It fits my 15" Toshiba no problem, with room to spare in the sleeve. The Samsonite Business One has a sleeve of 15" x 12" x 1.75". It also says something about a larger "padded laptop sleeve" but I'm not sure what the difference is between the removeable sleeve and the padded sleeve. Maybe the removeable one is a gap-filler if you're using a smaller laptop...

Edit: I think I paid just over $100 at Office Depot or Staples last summer.

I also previously owned one from US Luggage:

It cost alot less, like maybe half what others were charging, and was plenty sturdy until I wore out the zipper on the computer compartment. The wheels and cloth were fine, it fit most of my stuff just fine (though my Samsonite is a bit bigger) and was a little easier to deal with on airplanes compared to my new one.

Edit: It was something like $50 or $60 at CompUSA a few years back.
 
I got the Kensington Contour Roller (purchased same time as my i9300) for $90 from Dell. It's worked VERY well for me (love the ergonomic, curved pull handle).
