Terminal Case

Summary
The objective is a waterproof, corrosion-resistant, chemical-resistant, impact-resistant, lightweight, accessible, versatile, modular container for electronics and other hardware.
For recyclability, the use of a single frame material is optimal. Aluminum alloy (ex. Al6061) is corrosion and chemical resistant, machinable and weldable, and has a relatively high strength to weight ratio.
For maximum waterproofing, the terminal case should have minimal failure points. Accessibility inside the terminal case from just 1 face (ex. top face) provides the greatest waterproofing to accessibility ratio (at least where area-access technologies like circuit boards are concerned).
