that's extremely good, a standard suitcase sized one would definitely
tempt me, although the silver robot stuff in general isn't my thing.
very pleased to see the buff brown of the low cost suitcase, would be

wide, would be class.

and yes, if you're going to build these you really need to sort out
that capacitative touchplate controller for the ultimate faux
buchla/serge feel...
