That's a great idea !
I would really prefer to have the additional 4HP modules AT THE TOP
than at the bottom. I don't know what do you guys think about that but
as the portable suitcase is often on a table or so (live conditions)
access to the bottom of the case is harder than to the top. And if I
have too much stuff and I don't know where to put it, I'd better put
it over the suitcase than under. That's my opinion, maybe there are
good reasons to put it on the bottom...

(I'm not really concerned as I recieved my 2nd portable suitcase today
and I'll use DIY multiples that will be placed outside the case.)

Cheers,
Max.
