Pelican 1630 Reviews

Good for a gamer

By Daniel
Rated 5 out of 5

I had to move my computer across country for college, and had to deal with taping bubble rap inches think to protect my valuable electronic masterpiece. Figured I didn't want to spend all that many times for multiple transport situations in the future, so I ordered this case, as it was one of the few with enough space to fit the chonk of my case. After waiting the standard amount for item allocating, it arrived quite quickly, and with no damage. My computer loves its cozy new box, as it's now with me heading on another road trip back home, with my keyboard, mouse, and other peripherals in the same case. I have yet to test its water proof capabilities, as I definitely won't be risking my pc; but I can say the foam included was of great quality and the customizing squares were nice. If I were to change anything, I would make it a tad bit thinker to also fit my monitor, and make it an entire rolling setup. Would recommend for anyone going through, or is going to go through the same thing with their valuable gaming machine. TL/DR: Fits computer amazingly, recommend for anyone transpoting a pc. Foam is excellent

BIG...!!!

Not sure about that. Using it for something different. Best thing to do is go to Pelican's web site. They have a page that allows you to enter the demensions of your specific product. From there the search engine gives you case numbers that would accomadate your needs.

question

its possible to put an 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display in the pelican 1630, or i need the pelican 1730? thx!!!
Asked by: tomas g.
I bought it exactly to fit an 27-inch iMac just like yours. It fits just right. It's a little tricky, because you must remove almost every piece of the pick-n-pluck foam. You do get padding on the edges, just enough to protect from the hard plastic. I had an international fight and a some others domestic ones, and everything came right. Since it is very deep, I even had space to fit keyboard, my Wacom tablet and some external hard drives on the other layers of foam under the actual iMac.
