Case needed for 8890, any suggestions?

Hey all, I'm a pretty big guy and I know I can manage carrying this unit. I think the problem is the bag I'm using. I have an eddie bauer notebook case which is awesome, problem is that the notebook slot that fits the 8890 is just not snug..has a lot of room to move around and I think that is contributing to an uncomfortable haul on my back.

Can someone recommend THE ULTIMATE bag for the 8890? Price really isnt a concern...any recommendations would be most hepful. I'm looking for a over the shoulder type bag/backpack style bag that will fit the following:

8890
power cable
extra battery
disc case holding 20 cds
my 8 1/2 x 11 notepad
accessores like mouse, headphones, mp3 player, etc
thanks!

Targus Deluxe Backpack of course...$80.00 I think...Adam used it to carry his 8887 around and I have the same bag (blue and black) for the 5660

We ordered a Targus Sport Deluxe backpack from PCTorque when getting our 8890.
http://www.targus.com/us/product_details.asp?sku=TSB312

It's a very nice bag - extremely solid reinforced straps, loads of compartments, and more than big enough to hold the 8890 and all it's peripherals. I was actually quite surprised at how big the bag is.
It has a lot of padding on the section that lays on your back so it's quite comfortable to carry, and it has a waist and chest strap if you like using those.
I had wanted to get a bag with air-protection, but (Targus at least) don't seem to make a backpack big enough that has inflatable padding. The backpack we got has standard foam padding all around the laptop pocket which seems reasonably thick (obviously you wouldn't want to drop it though!). It's probably the best you could get in a backpack style.

I was wondering if these were any good:

I'd have to agree on the Targus deluxe backpack even though you want something thinner. It fits the 8890 great, has tons of storage and looks awesome. I picked up the silver/black one and love it.

you can find a bunch of nifty bags (messenger, and backpack) at www.timbuk2.com

they have a variety of sizes and colors. plus you can build your own bag to fit your needs. they price around $100, but it is worth it for the quality and personalization.

I was just curious if their were any cheap alternatives to the Targus Sports Deluxe Backpack for my 8890? Although I did check Amazon and I think the Targus Deluxe is 68 dollars now.

I use the High Sierra AT computer bag for my 8880 and love it! It has tons of space and is very rugged and comfortable to carry (hold on shoulder or wear as backpack).

I think it is being discontinued so you can get one cheap - eBags.com has it for $49.99

I had ordered mine from here:http://www.pcuniverse.com/product.asp?pid=31932
They have it listed for $65 w/ free shipping.
It should actually be arriving today.

There aren't a lot of bags that fit the 8890.

I ordered the Targus CL55 that comes with the 8890 at a discount.

Tom Bihn makes a protective sleeve that fits the 8890 as well (Size 2XL).
