Bring Your Gear into Battle with a Monolab Design Trunk

Cleverly described as a 4TB iPod, this modern case seems to be fit to take on anything…including impending doom.

Four years in the making, Ismael Ghalimi had found that the stress of traveling with his equipment had become far too much of a burden on both himself and his workstation. Built from German made anodized aluminum, the piece stands at 5′ tall and weighs nearly 300 lbs. After numerous calculations to coincide with additions to Apple’s desktop line of Macs, Ghalimi had settled upon a proper design, that I must say beautifully combines form and function.

The unit houses a Mac Pro, a 23″ Apple Display and a set of aluminum enclosed Webern Loudspeakers made by Vienna Acoustics.

“In order to grant access to the DVD tray, the Apple Mac Pro is mounted on industrial ball bearings that are a miniature version of the ones used for the ladder mounted on fire trucks. And to make operations as smooth as possible, the two front doors are attached to hydraulic dampeners, similar to the ones used by car manufacturers for rear hatches. Once again, the whole thing is pretty solid, which is why it’s so heavy.”

Not only does the sound construction and badass look make this a pretty sweet way to get your gear around, but would also fit well as a Pièce de résistance in any living room.
