Task Force is the Lowes brand and both cases pictured here are in the product line and both carry the name Task Force.

Just got mine this morning.

You can see the guard force image here (coudn't pull the image from lowes.com so I uploaded them to photbucket)



The Task Force is something completely different... If you able to order it online, make sure you get the right thing... This is what the task force looks like

Here's a pic of my Paulson JB Task Force "gig bag":



I have been using this as a tourney/cash game set when I go over to friends' houses. Contents are as follows:

Chips:
$25 x 450
$100 x 200
$500 x 100
$1000 x 50
Total: 800 chips

(I am using 26 chips per row, and so have extra space in the 8th box for miscellaneous stuff)

Card Set-ups:
Gemaco Filigree
Bee WPT Plastic
Dal Negro Carpet

Miscellaneous:
Kitchen timer
1 Ridiculously heavy (15g) Tangiers chip (card protector)
12 Re-buy/bounty chips (Bicycle 8g Clay-filled, not bad, actually)
Various player status markers (missed blind, reserved, etc.)
Film can full of quarters (for change)
Dealer button
Kill button
Envelope of bills ($1's and $5's for change)

Nice layout, very similar to mine. I'll try to post a pic later.

I love the easily customized foam, but it's a little soft for my taste.

Any idea where to go to get closed cell foam cut to the layout I want?

RDeckard, 2_Hotty, Tripod22... I love what you've done with the cases!

Tomorrow my ChipCo trays arrive so I'm going to get started on figuring mine out. I have a feeling I may have to modify a bit more to fit 10 trays, my Dal Negro, Copag and Kem sets and then various stuff. I'll upload a photo next week. I have the entire weekend to obsess!

The sad/scary thing is, I enjoyed figuring out the contents and dorking around with the case almost as much as actually playing poker with it. I think I spent at least the better part of a day deciding on the chip breakdown, chip box orientation, whether to use the dividers or the foam, weight distribution, et cetera. Sometimes actually playing the game is a bit anti-climactic after all of the prep work. About the only thing some folks seem to appreciate is the fact that I always bring change-making money--oh, they also trip out when I pull out the laptop to run The Tournament Director, too.

Ah ha! I see your OCD escapism is as bad as mine! Would you like to see the NINE versions of the same spreadsheet I made to figure out how many of each denomination chip I needed in the Pharaoh's GB?

Heres my case, I have covers for the racks but liked this arrangement better, when the case is closed the chips dont move at all, they fit tight enough that you just have to push the top down a little to get the case closed. You can see in some of the pics the oiled chips vs the non oiled. Only 20 blacks and greens are oiled, all the purples are oiled, and about half the yellows are oiled. None of the planes are oiled yet.
