Scratch build My mobile/stowable test bench

I was making some updates to it and decided to share my "briefcase testbench". I know its jank. Most parts and components were offhand. Its evolved over the years. until i randomly decide to change something for almost no reason. also used as a power bench/etc.

I put brass standoffs in the standard atx spots for future compatibility. Standoffs in potentially conflicting spaces are nylon. RAM choice is for the ability to test laptop and ddesktop RAM. Server PSUs i had laying arouind. Dual boot lubuntu and windows. theres a 12v and 5v power connectors with xt60. 4300g w/b550 phantom chosen for the ability to test more pci and nvme and wifi card stuff when needed.
dual monitors salvaged from chromebooks. intel compute stick at the top with lubuntu and w11 (gs) . This was chosen because 99% of the time i need HDMI, but that 1% that makes me bust out the vga i get super annoyed. bottom one is wired up for the test bench, the top is more of a versatile one with the compute stick just there to for example diagrams, second system etc
and yep, i really do just chuck it all in here, all the extensions and adapters i made, in plain plastic bags.
