I had a short moment where i felt "omg i can fit a framework board in there", but alas the 1300 is only 9" wide. Still, I really like this idea, and I wonder if i might not just make exactly such a thing but with a larger pelican case. Then you can cram a lot of data in there with a bunch of modern 3.5" spinning disks (which, hopefully, the pelican will keep from rusting too much).

Beautiful idea, would love to see open specs, but really nice to be sharing!

(Update: the framework board is so close. The first daughtboard in the schematics <https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/Framework-Laptop-13/blo...> is actually 9.071 inches (115 + 115.4mm, so 230.4mm if i read it right) wide! But alas the mainboard is 274mm (10.8 inches), and that is without the expansion cards added. With the cards, we're talking about 11.7 inches (297mm) and then you still need to plug in things in there! Still there's something there, i think.)

The framework just about fits well with a 13" display in the Pelican iM2200. The challenge with the framework is the USB display, and the all-USBC nature of their board- all solvable problems though. I almost made one and may yet, but these builds take months!
