    I just ordered a 1530.

    Looking at cases. Does it fit best in a case for 15.4" or does one for a 17" offer more room for power supply, etc?

    Looking at pictures its hard to tell but those 15.4" cases dont seem to have much space??

    Depends if the case has pockets or not.

    I got one of the swiss gear back packs at 15.4" and there is a ton of room. I can probably fit two 1530's in the laptop pocket.

    A 17" pocket would leave too much room for the thing to jostle around. You want it to be stable...
