Hello lizardnation-ga,
I reviewed the CONSEL Case Solutions website and then researched the
market for computer equipment case manufacturers. I discovered that
there are a limited number of key players that are likely to meet your
needs. Ive divided the research results into two sections.
Equipment Cases: The first section covers vendors who offer equipment
cases. Most of them have variations on standard carrying and shipping
cases which are augmented by a very large selection of accessories. I
believe you will be able to find the accessories to meet your needs
once youve chosen the case manufacturer. TSP Technology Support &
Project Engineering GmbH seems to be the best bet for offering you
customized solutions.
Fuel Cell Technology: This section of my research covers the fuel cell
technologies that are attracting you to CONSEL. None of the other case
manufacturers seem to have adapted the technology but there are some
other products using it that might be of interest to you.
I hope that the information Ive collected will meet your needs.
Please dont hesitate to ask for clarification if you need additional
input.
Good luck on finding a product that will meet you specifications.

FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGY

Fuel Cells Power Portables
Toshiba (Hall 1, Stand 6H2) is showing the worlds first prototype of
a small form factor direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) for portable PCs.
The cell can currently provide around five hours of operation with a
single cartridge of fuel.
Another company promoting fuel cells at CeBIT is Smart Fuel Cell AG.
It is working with Medion AG (Hall 2, Stand C48) on a new power supply
for notebooks and other portable electronic devices the Energy
Docking Station. This can power the notebook about three times longer
than a conventional battery with a single, methanol fuel cartridge.
Once a cartridge is empty, it can be "hot-swapped."
Another SFC partner is Consel Case Solutions Ltd (Hall 2, Stand A43)
which has developed the "Marathon-Suitcase." Here a single SFC fuel
cartridge provides enough fuel for about seven hours runtime. The
suitcase can accommodate up to seven fuel cartridges, which enable
runtimes of up to 50 hours.
According to Manfred Stefener, CEO of SFC, commercialisation of fuel
cells for notebook PCs should begin in 2004.
