Raspberry pi Portable HTPC

[phillrulz]

Hey guys, i wanted to make a htpc for me to watch as i like to watch stuff while i fall asleep, so i got caught on the idea of a Raspberry pi, So grabbed a Raspberry Pi 2, a small 7inch monitor and i already had my powerbank. 

 

 

 

Parts:

 

 

Raspberry pi 2- £31.90 ( need cables and memory stick+memory card)

 

7inch HDMI monitor £59.00

 

 

Power bank 26000mah £59.99

 

 

 

128GB USB 3.0 or 2.0 £33.99 and £29.99 respectively ( belive pi only uses 2.0 however 3.0 is nice when transferring big files)  

 

 

 

So yea, for short i think this is pretty cool, i have a large capacity bank and two low power devices i haven't had a chance to test battery life as i purely had the idea earlier and the bank isn't fully charged. It also takes a while so ill try tomorrow if i remember. Didnt think it was worth of review just a quick show

just found the carry bag for my evga power supply it all fits in it very nicely, maybe if i get the urge ill make an enclosure.

i dont find making a enclosure is practical, because.. it will be very bulky !

i would keep it looking cool and mysterious, so people who sees it, get confused, and think i am a genius
