[misc.wanted] Looking for a "boat anchor" portable computer case

I'm looking for an old "luggable" style computer case, the kind that
the early Compaq/Osborne/Kaypro portables used. It needs to fit a 9" CRT
and a motherboard that's about 10 x 15 inches. A few years ago this
style of case was advertized a lot in Computer Shopper, but the
lightweight laptops seem to have killed the market for them.

The reason I want one of these antiques is I've got an Amiga 500
motherboard that is just begging to be turned into a Frankenstein
version of a portable Amiga.

Any pointers to a source of these cases, or an old computer with a good
case would be appreciated.
