I found this nice wood box and could not resist to house one of my Gigatrons inside.
And with a VGA to HDMI adapter, it plays nicely at my 75" TV set

What a setup! In fact I am more impressed by the wooden box than by the big TV

Yes. The first idea was to mount the display also inside the box. But HDMI 7" or 10" displays are small and expensive - I don't like them.
So this setup was to see what this VGA to HDMI converter can do - and it works quite well! Good to know, when it is needed.
But now I found a 17" VGA monitor, that fits within 1-2mm inside the box
So back to first idea and now everything fits inside it. Is it now a Gigabox?

Makes me think of “luggable” computers such as
