Episode Idea

AniGeek

heres an idea since youve already talked about the Raspberry Pi and have Sponsored Rev3 episodes that involved the RPi, how about building a 22 inch laptop using these minimum specs:

 

Monitor:

Asus VE228H 21.5-Inch Full-HD LED Monitor with Integrated Speakers

http://www.amazon.com/Asus-VE228H-21-5-Inch-Integrated-Speakers/dp/B00413PHDM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1349558416&sr=8-2&keywords=Asus+ML228H+21.5%22+Full+HD+LCD+Monitor

 

Raspberry Pi board

 

Any form of linux (hopefully either mint or gnome will work)

 

at least 6-8 USB ports for attachments such as wifi dongle, external hard drives, wireless mouse, external burn/read disc drive etc

 

power supply with surface push button switch or toggle switch to power on the system

 

built in keyboard with direct line to raspberry pi or secondary (arduino or pcb board to interface with raspberry pi)

 

1 or 2 micro fans to make sure everything stays cool on the case

 

total thickness of case and monitor closed around 1 1/2 inches

 

lightweight materials

 

I hope this build gets done because i want to learn how to do it myself because i know only about half of what i need to do to build it

 

thanks for all you do Ben its good to see those out there inovating the world around us

    is there a way though mr fustini where the raspberry pi would be able to be nestled inside of the lapdock or attached to it somehow so that it doesnt get damaged in traveling and so that it doesnt have to be unhooked everytime you shut down cause i would like to get it to where all i have to do is hit a power button and everything starts its run without having to do a breakdown and reapplication everytime i want the laptop to be used? and i was considering a lapdock but i was also wanting to build it completely custom case and all its just im not at full par with other modders when it comes to using cnc and such.

    i edited the original post because i found a better monitor of the same size and brand but cheaper
