Since I have 1/2 hour left of my workday on a friday and nobody seems to call me, I might as well take mine , from the memory.

I carry two slimline PC-bags, one with my IBM Lenovo ThinkPad E60 (not the most sexy machine, but sturdy and can withstand a fall from the DJ floor, and a pint of beer over the spillsafe keyboard, which actually happened half a year a go at a gig. The battery shorted out, but the computer survived!).

Installed I have iTunes, Traktor Pro 1 and Acid Pro v6 (for remixing purposes) installed.

The other bag contains:
- Vestax VCI-100 SE Arcade
- Trigger Finger (effects)
- Old, but reliable USB Soundblaster card
- Headset AKG K181DJ

Or you'll eat them? Cable pasta can be quite fattening so I'd stay away.

Anyway, I have:

Audio 8
RCA Cables
USB Cables
2 USB hubs
HDJ-2000s

and more to come, hopefully.

The weirdest thing is that no matter what I have had in mine, it always seems to be mostly cables.
