Best Laptop/DSLR bags that wont break the bank

As someone who's new(er) to photography I don't have much gear to haul around but I'm finding that the amount of stuff that I have is quickly exceeding the amount of stuff I can carry in my cheap $20 Ranger pack. Currently I'm using an Oakley Icon 3 pack for Laptop, HDDs, NAS drives, and charging stuff. I also have the Ranger pack that used to hold my D5100, but now I have 2 lenses in it and my camera in my hand. If any of you guys have laptop/camera combo bags and have suggestions please let me know!!

The first thing I always consider is how do you want to carry? Backpack style? Messenger style? Sling perhaps? Once you make that distinction the selection should be a little easier.

For laptop and DSLR carry I use my Osprey Momentum (not a dedicated DSLR backpack) or a Tamrac Adventure 9 (dedicated DSLR backpack). They have all the features I need and are priced competitively I feel.

Tamrac Expedition series if you want a backpack style. None of them are cheap but then again I am not putting several thousand dollars of equipment in a cheaply made pack. Tamrac uses very high build quality materials and has a great layout design in the Expedition series of packs.

Echo Tamrac, I have an Expedition 7 and can get either my D800e or D4s and all three trinity lenses in with quite a few other bits and pieces. It's also damned comfortable, meaning I can wear it all day long.
