I had a random thought of getting a pair of SFF computer cases and using them as panniers on the forward part of the frame. on the range from "charmingly autistic" but "not nearly autistic enough to make it work" where does it fall on the scale of being viable? I am not adverse to sawing them apart to make the front wheel clear and the original reason was to have lots of buttons available to control auxilary electronics and already have plates cut for connectors and be simply able to cover the rest with scrap metal or even just blasting cuttable/sandable foam fill in there or something
also the reason for this was because i have a rear suspension making the rear pannier unviable; i know they make pannier racks that just clamp around the seat post but is there anything a little more secure for the rear? it needs to be able to hold not just a battery, but even if i kept this bike Au Naturel, probably like 20kg in tools and other equipment anyway. i imagine a pannier rack that itself has a suspension would interfere with the main suspension and just be generally ponderous and overpriced but also i bet i overlooked some simple solution that is still secure enough
