We currently have an 8’x20′ container that we mounted our solar (PV) panels on top of and inside we have our batteries, inverter, etc. We also use it as a simple storage container. But when taking the container concept beyond storage/utility into a more advanced structure, there are some issues. One problem with building with ISBUs is
Samantha and I are planning our new home, with the help of our good friend and architect John Odom.

My new Lenovo X220 laptop should be arriving soon. While it has a nice i7 CPU, it only has only has an integrated Intel HD 3000 for the video card 🙁 This severely limits 3D performance, therefore I will be adding something known as a DIY eGPU -or- DIY ViDock.
