Hello Element 14 comunity,
I am new to this whole Raspberry Pi thing, and I've seen some really awsome stuff coming from it. All of the things ive seen have sparked an idea for a home/portable theater system. Ok, heres the consept, a stand-alone unit that I can plug in to my TV and Sound system and have an awsome home theater. Then when I need to go some where I can take the unit and watch movies and such on the go. My Idea is a box with a 10inch LCD that folds up, with an hdmi in for consoles, 2 front facing speakers, 2-4 headphone jacks (for night/privite use), also I was toying with the idea of running 2 Pis one for only raspmc and another as just a computer. Now I know I would need a HDMI switcher, a Wi-Fi addapter, Multible rechargable batteries, and buttons and toggle switches. I have some of the shoping done. Heres a list:
2x 512MB Raspberry Pi Model B
2x Wolfson Audio card
2x Class 10 16GB SD Memory Card
2x Wi-Fi addapters
1x HDMI switcher
1x 10In LCD moniter with HDMI inputs
2x Network Heatsink
2x Cpu Heatsinks
2x Power Heatsinks
3x Rechargeable Batteries (one per Pi and one for the screen)
So heres the questions, Is it a good idea? If so how would I go about getting an enclosure for it? How much would this all run me?
Thank you in advance, Von
