How much did it cost

Question

How much did it cost to make the Portable Raspberry Pi and the Robot Luggage? I really want to make one of them.
I already own a Raspberry Pi and I know how much the little screen costs but how much would the battery and everything else cost?

Indeed :-)

As for the portable Pi

Battery - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002Y2LJW0/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Charger - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001BEXDRQ/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Screen - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0045IIZKU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have a project on the back burner right now making a new version of the portable Pi with a custom board which would have the tact switches, direct Pi interface (no teensy), battery charger and boost circuit so it can run off of 2 3.7V cells in parallel almost doubling the capacity. When I'm further along and can talk about it, I will.
