  1. I did this for a "blackbox"

    Inside is a 4 port USB HUB, an ALFA, and my AIRPCAP-NX, with a waterproof USB connector on the side.

    Might try to put it in something smaller..

    I think a different yagi might fit in there perfectly fine (if plastic casing was used) Like a cisco AIR-ANT2410Y-R you would need to change or adapt the connector.

    Another option would be to cut some of the director elements off the Hak5 Shop Yagi. It would give you a wider beam spread but still much more directional than a Dipole. Again it all depends on what you are tying to do.

  2. Thats a bit much.. :)

    I can stuff alot of crap in that!

    On the same kind of style:

    might be able to make a battle case with something like this...

    I used one of these for a foxhunt (ham radio hide & seek)

    Big problem (as Molotof said would be putting the antenna inside. Best case being you dont get a good signal outside of the box (Faraday cage), Worst being that you destroy the radio & amplifier in the pineapple.

    Now that dosent mean you cant drill a hole in the box and stick the antenna on the outside. :)

    A couple of bulkhead fittings for USB, Power, LAN & WAN

    Then you would have plenty of room for a honkin sealed lead acid battery and charging circuit.

  3. The DELL is ALOT more $$ if you get it new, but its also a CRAPLOAD cheaper from the DELL outlet, go figure..

    The config I got was spec'd out at $5kish new, but refurbished from the outlet $1500

    Nvidia Optimus with Touchscreen, 8GB ram and i7 Core CPU.

    Threw 2x 256GB Crucial M4 SSDs in it and called it a day

  4. Technically it's daddys RC stuff.. But she LOVES it!

    Plus they both take SIX AA batteries..

    I took out the battery trays out of the bottoms of the controllers, and wired in a connector that will plug into my batt pack that I velcro to the bottom of the remote and i'm good for.. I don't know how long because I did it a few weeks ago and havent had to charge it yet! :)

  5. Good points...

    The Toughbook can take as much heat as any WIFI cards can dish out, after all, its all one big heatsink.

    Interference should be at a minimum, probably less than mounting them on the back of the LCD lid as usual..

    The 3 antennas were pretty much for DEMO purpose, in reality, only one of the cards would be active at a time, and even then if I am in a vehicle, the RPSMA for the ALFA would go to a roof mounted MAG antenna whilst the AIRPCAP would "probbably" go to a 7db Rubber Ducky and a BIQUAD or CANTENNA..

    Thanks alot for the input!!

  6. I posted over at the Toughbook forums without much "love".

    Let me know what you guys think!!!

    So the idea of putting a USB hub inside the Optical Bay didn't work out..

    I basically didn't know where to get 5v from for powering it.

    So, what I ended up doing was, since I don't use the REAR USB ports (mainly due to breaking things that I have had plugged into it when I forget they are there). I modded in a 4pin mini USB to connect to my ALFA 1W WiFi Adapter without its shell, and a FEMALE port to plug in my AIRPCAP adapter.

    Also, since I don't really use PCMCIA or EXPRESSCARDs, I decided that the best/easiest/possible only way to mount antennas was to MOD the optical bay door for the 3 RPSMA adapters I need to use.

    LOOKING FOR OPINIONS PEOPLE!!!
