The printed enclosure was finished way before I expected, I found myself racing on my bike to the pickup location on a tropical day.

It took a couple of minutes of sanding to have all the parts fit inside, but it was a glorious moment when done.

Not wanting to desolder the surface mounted USB ports I took a hobby knife to some mini USB cables. Thankfully the business end of the cables had some nice solder pads to them. I still need to add some shielding to the cable that runs from the carambola (top) to the hard drive (middle), read  and write times are pretty appalling now.

Ain't she pretty?

Weight turned out to be 500 grams, the battery pack packs the most weight at 250 grams.
