I'd go with an SKB DJ capsule and an SKB AV tray myself. That said, I just stopped using one of these setups. It was surprisingly heavy and that size of a box was always clunky to try and get it to ride on top of anything that rolls.

Looks like a nice case. I have a few from large to small. This one is in between and the glider top is very nice. It looks much better then the comparable gator case. It will be heavier, but better quality

Odyssey cases are heavy...but made strong. I have an "Old" slide back coffin with space for two turntables, one left and one right, and slant 12 space top and verticle 6 space. It was too heavy for me to lift by myself. I adapted. Back then I was using a pickup truck w/cap. Converted hand truck into cart. Added two totes (cords, cables, etc.) inside for storage and placed a cut piece of smooth hardboard to lay on top. The height was exactly what I needed so I could slide into the pickup bed. Slide off and roll into event center. It was about 1" lower than the banquet table height so I lifted one end up on table, then the other, but...I placed a 1/2" round dowell on table first. Easy to roll case into centered position. Lift one end and take out dowell. Finished. Didn't even wrinkle the tablecloth.

It proves that you can adapt and still function easily.

I like the looks of the case you describe. I will check it out in person IF I am able to find one on display. Since I don't use amplifier the space in front would hold my DRPA and power distribution unit.

Thanks for the idea!

I'm with Rick on the SKB AV-8 laptop shelf.... but, I'd go with the SKB-R104 with it... not the capsule....
