Transporting a desktop computer

How would I use rope to tie around a desktop computer?
Is there someway to tie a rope (with a handle) so I could transport it
like a suit case?
Someone told me to use a big canvas bag like they use in the Post office.
Is there a net bag I could make?
Was it a barrow knot they used in the old days to move barrows?
Would that work.
I'd appreciate any help on this.
TIA

See if this will work for you:

You might use a piece of garden hose to give a better handle on the
rope.

I think the barrel sling may do the trick. But I better practice with some
empty box s first. Wouldn't want to drop a computer. g

As an aside, if you think the box sling shown takes too much effort,
just remember that if your computers are about the same size each time
(assuming you're doing this more than once), you can leave the red
lines tied and just untuck and retuck the girth hitch each time you
need to use it.

In other words, once you get it tied, it's easier to re-use each
successive time.

It would be better to put it in a real suitcase, where you can pad it
with garments and it does not look like a computer.

I moved it today using the barrel sling which worked Ok.
But I think I'll make up a box sling for next time. (if there is a next
time). g.
Thanks again!
