Project Apple

I have an idea for a project, the main use of this computer will be normal pc usage, such as Internet browsing, Retro gaming (which seems to be the most famous use of the Raspberry pi), and other things. So, your probably wondering, why is it named the Apple pi? well, i named it the Apple pi, because i want to use the case of on Apple Macintosh Classic, or any of the older one-piece Macintosh computers, i was hoping to have it to where it can be turned off and on with a switch also can be powered with a laptop battery. What i need help with is finding the parts to make it work, because i know the Raspberry pi is powered with 5V, i need help finding the right parts for it, all i need is a 9" LCD screen, i was hoping it can use the built in screen adapter, so i can use HDMI to plug in another monitor or a TV, i also want to make sure it is still portable, or... as portable as a Macintosh was. I would appreciate it if i can get some help on finding the parts like the battery and the LCD screen.

    Too bad on the name change, I love apple pie.. Wait, we're talking about baking right?

    Excited to see some of the progress once this gets going I love the concept you have and if I see anything while browsing around that I think might work for this build I will be sure to post.

    I have decided to change the name of the Project to...... Project Apple. also i have found some things to help make this a lot easier on me, there is a module called the "MoPi", and what it does is it helps make portability more possible, it plugs into the GPIO pins on the Pi board, which supports anywhere from 6V to 20V

    This might work for the 9" display:
