Really nice
I recommend to install a ZX96 compatible backplane to use the exisisting ZX96/ZX81 addon cards like a harddisk (IDE) interface, a megabyte ram card, a floppy interface or a MMC interface.

This also reminds me of a Brazilian that placed his Sinclair clone inside a case, complete with tape recorder:

It's called "Firebox Plus Deck Cassette".
Funny idea, btw.
