My version of a `quick and dirty` SYS-air.
The first pic is just the unit with the lid open showing guns & hose. Usually there is a bottle of glue in there as well.
Second pic is a more unobstructed view. It also shows the `divit` where the hose and the power cord lead out with the ability to close the lid. That divit was due to a mishap on the jobsite which later proved to be fortunate.
The third pic shows the modification to the compressor to allow it to sit on its 4 feet. The modification was to remove about 1 to 1 1/2 inches of tubing from the frame. I can't remember for sure, but I think I also turned the motor 180 laterally on it's mounts so the starter capacitor would clear the tank. Unmodified is still fit in the systainer, but rather sloppily and as a result made the unit made a ton of noise.
This is just a 1 gallon Senco compressor i picked up at the cheapo-depot as my prior systainer version had blown it's reeds with replacements no longer available.
For those wondering:
Yes, I can and generally do, run this with the lid closed. Helps keep the crud out of the box and makes it quieter. It has only popped the thermal one time. My guy was running speed base on a 90 degree day with the lid closed. Nothing but nailing, everything had been pre-cut and dry fitted already. in a systainer or out of one, this little compressor was never intended to run a 15 gauge gun at that production level as it only 30% duty cycle if I remember correctly. He thought he burned it up but it was just the thermal breaker. He admitted that the unit hd not been keeping up with him. And yes, I/we have more appropriate compressors for that.

Here is my Milwaukee impact with battery, charger, torque sticks, and sockets for wheel removal. This is going with me when we travel in the Fifth wheel during the summer.

Here is my solution for my Sys Toolbox. This has worked pretty well for me. It may not be what you want but it may give someone some inspiration to help solve their tool storage issues. I use mine in the shop but have taken it to the job site a few times. I simply took an old bucket organizer I had from Home Depot, if I remember correctly, I think I paid about $7. I cut it apart and used pop rivets to attach it. I may have used a few small bolts (10-32) to reinforce it. I have inside loops for tools and a lot of pockets. It can be removed if I ever decide I don't like it or need it anymore but I have been using it for about 2 years and it is quite handy. I can move it to where I am working and have all my most used tools within easy reach.

This is not a systainer post directly. I was modifying one of my systainers and I found this file underneath the plastic insert. Most likely from packing. Kind of neat for festool swag. The only thing I have gotten from Festool for free. [big grin]

Nice thread guys, Fingerlicking and very OCD friendly.
I made this insert for my beloved OF 1010.
Plywood and 4mm cork.
Fits snugly and secure.
The router is now laying correctly (rather than reversed).
Next time I will use thinner plywood.
For the rest I'm very happy.
Of course, this is 1% necessary and 99% fun.

This is my setup for kitchenfitting. My apprentice calls it R2D2. Only thing I need to modify, is something to mount my 1200mm level, hearing protection, and my caulkgun. I also carry a Hilti sportback with my other powertools, such as impactdriver, powerdrill, jigsaw, sds drill. And ofcourse, my radio. I can pretty much do about 80-90% of the work with this setup.
