I have put a dell laptop in a metal case with an external drive where I am stocking all the images, tools, a load of Zim files with the Wikipedia, the Gutenberg Project etc...I am also collecting the instalation files for various Pi images, Linux images, and networking and SDR applications. It houses my HackRF One and I can load things I have accumulated on there but it mainly remains closed. The larger box holds, electronics parts, dev boards, PicoWs, Arduinos, and all the goodies you would want to make about anything. I want to find some heavy-duty balloons and some small Helium cartigages to teather a dipole, a wifi antenna for more coverage, and other goodies.
I have switches and a old atx motherboard with a AMD processor with a 1000 series GPU. That will do in a pinch. It's a very basic attempt at something I would like to produce in commercial qualities with handhelds, portable stations and a base station. Basically, a community internet that can be set up in a heart beat with my 230W solar panel, a battery, and would love a small wind turbine. If I lived in the mountains or closer to the river near here, a water turbine would supply an unending source of power.

I have started with Kiwis and images of various Linux distos, OpenWRT, Network Tools, Ubuntu, Raspberry Pi Imager, Rufus, Rasbian, SDR software for my two HackRfs, have put one copy in a grounded Freaday Cage (with two unused Pis, some Lorawan Dev Boards, various microcontrollers (Arduio, Pico Pi and Pico W, a ton of spare parts, Field Surgical Manuals from various sources, anatomy, electrical engineering texts and videos, water purification systems, editable and medicinal plants (global), the Guttenberg Project, the entire Wikipedia, Amateur Radio and Antenna Texts, File Shareing and Mesh Networking Software, and since I'm a technical diver (I'll grab a small pony bottle of helium and some durable balloons to raise both a community wifi, shortwave, and CB antenna, all in a cage I test with my cell phone and have grounded. Since we are entering into the next two years of violent solar cycles, and all the talk of nukes, the EMP likely test flown over the US Missle Feilds, the RAND corporation actually making a public statement calling for a multilateral ban on hypersonic missles (they never speak publicly). It seems like its a wise bet to have what collective knowledge we have come to depend on available for my community and country people. I live in what was at one time a very diehard neutral country that has decided, I might add without a popular vote as one would think they should solicit, to be less neutral and we are well within a Iskandar Missles away from Ukraine and a mere airbrust over German, France, or the English Channel would fry about everything we all here like to do, well it will become up to people like us to help rebuild if there is anything to rebuild. That's my thinking anyway. I'd like to produce kits.
1. A NGO / Corp / Small community kit which would be a pallet sized Freaday Caged bunch of small sized all weather basic computers - perhaps merely Pis (a redundant one, battery pack, solar flexible cell, a set of self inflating balloons with antenna and SDRs, portable handheld family band or semi-amature band radios, and one or two network level large cases with a full two micro ATX with GPUs and RAID arrays, a enterprise level router, several very powerful beam forming WiFis that the mesh could be build around). A satalight link (Statlink or one of the higher orbital yet slower systems, fully licensed Amateur Radio, and a private Cellular capable network antenna and hardware. Basically, any major disaster and drop a pallet of these and first responders, communities, cities, could start with basic networking and a huge set of needed references to reestablish civil society, combinations, and a simple book to read to keep sane.
2. A simple individual version much like won a cyber deck award this last year with a multi-voltage power input, weather satellite, and SDR abilities work a flexible solar panel and several hours of constant use worth of internal battery but you could attach both the solar to a larger external battery and even a small wind turbine and or a water flow generator. All situations covered, and a nice raid or disk with a second redundant of the same that I am putting together.
Would be a cool thing to produce for natural disaster, war, solar CME, or the break down of social order.
Interesting concept, please make sure to keep us posted on progress.
