I'm sure you no longer need photos for the interview... but I thought I'd share some pictures of my newly created piratebox called "The Library." Obviously it is meant for sharing books. 
The battery is rated at 6000mAh and I have found that it can easily run the router for more than 24 hours. Let me know what you think.

I'm using the MR3040 as well. It came as a v2 which delayed me a bit finding an OpenWRT that had the header modified to work but it's up and running with a 32GB usb stick in it. I love the small portable form with the built in 2000 mAh battery and micro usb barely sticking out. I have a couple 5000 mAh batteries if I need to power it further on the go or just plug it into the wall or car charger to both power it and recharge the built in battery. Haven't tested out the range yet but the form factor is sure great.

7400 mAh battery + wr703n = 1 day, 7 hours, 45 mins uptime
Now to build a nice box to house it in.

Re: Please share your PirateBox photos May 24, 2013 07:05AM |
The Pi - especially the B - sucks up rather more power than the wr703n, plus my boost converter cuts out before the cells reach their safe discharge limit, so battery life isn't great. I've not tested it, but I calculate it'll be good for around eight hours.There's about 7600mAH in those cells, so I could probably double that if I used an A model.

wr703n hiding under an external battery... all shoved in a cheap lunchbox for my first portable test on Sydneys rail network.

I know that this is way too late for the interview, but since thins seems to be ongoing, here goes my first piratebox:
Details and more pics: http://forum.daviddarts.com/read.php?2,7849,8041#msg-8041
The finished, closed device in a socket.
Opened. Everything is glued down with hotglue.
[edit] Battery power?! We don't need batteries where we're going!

Hello,
This morning I've play with a book to put my piratebox (just to store the box at the moment, not running)

Hello everyone I just realized that I haven't posted any pics of my LibroBox (based on PirateBox 0.5 and Nargrens design). You can find the code here
EDIT*
A Youtube video of it in action
And a Vine (gif) showing some of the latest work I'm doing

eeePc running debian, dedicated install and connected to an alfa adapter for extra rangez 
Also doubles up as my home music system
Was tinkering away with it the other day while piratebox was running, but didnt realise that the charger wasnt plugged in... I was working for over 5 hours.... So pretty good battery life

I'm showing the netbook screen just to show that I totally customized the UI based off of Nagren's Design 2.0 in order to create a mobile communications hub for the freedom activists from [FreeKeene.com]
Here is a closeup of the box itself. I designed the label in photoshop and made it a little bigger than the mr3020 and just cut the excess off with an exacto... I wanted something a little snazzier and edgier than the default label logo.

Hey guys!
Here is my little PirateBox running off a MR3020.
I love this little device, I've used it loads at university and have had people coming up to me and asking me about the project!
I'd love to get myself a sticker or two for it as well!
My plans are to buy a few more MR3020s as projects, and then see if I can get it working on other devices.
It's an awesome project and I can't believe I've only found out about it in the last few weeks.
