Well if anyone here hasnt noticed, this game, as awesome as it is, takes up an ungodly amount of space, and even more if it needs to be moved. So I got the Idea that a case is needed. The Drums are obviously the biggest part of this problem, but the Guitar isnt a tiny little thing either. Throw a mess of cords (and if your a 360 user, a Hub as well, but I have the PSa3 version so its no personal problem for me)

Now I think id be able to make a decent case to hold all of the crap this game contains, but damn anyone have any ideas what kind of starting off point I should choose? What Materials should this thing be made of? (I have no idea how i would mold plastic btw so dont suggest that:P)

Or even simpler, does anyone know of any kind of Hardware case for tools or something that may be in similar size that could maybe be slightly modified to fit the drum kit, and even maybe a guitar or so?

screw a case, what about a stand? somethin that'll wind the cords up on the guitars and prop em up to look pretty, while having a drop bag in the back to hold the poles/rods/legs for the drums, and to tilted bars in the front to hold the drum heads, while covering some of the mess like the wires. Would be really cool to implement all the intruments and put it on wheels, and wire it all INTO the stand, so that you just have to roll it over, and plug the USB power cable, and the usb plug into your xbox and your good to go
matter a fact, i think ima make a sketch, might be a good tutorial

a good Idea, btu a bit ambicous. And since i own the PS3 version, my guitar is wireless, so i have no wires to worry about. and for the drum, I wrap the cord around the notces on top tha the drum sticks go in:P

As for the Microphone, One USB cable isnt a big mess:P
