Bringing the basic components together. On the living room couch.

Two ultra-thin USB cables, a RaspberryPi, and a USB hub.

The RasPi in a case made on a 3d printer at HacDC.

Zip ties are handy for bundling cables.

Figuring out how to mount the RasPi in the lunchbox. I had to leave clearance for the power cable (bottom right).

The power pack works!

Testing positioning of the USB hub.

Industrial strength Velcro and zip ties. What else do you need in a build?

Figuring out how to position the display in the lid. The flat HDMI cable was a challenge to get coiled up and secured.

Test fit: RasPi on top of the power brick on the left, power cell for the display on the right, and a pain-in-the-ass HDMI cable on top.

Everything fits.

Soldering a few extra inches of wire onto the power cell for the display.

Components mounted, ready to seat the display.

I wound up repositioning the USB hub after scrapping the external USB port idea. This image clearly shows the wiring harnesses.
