I want to cram things into things. (suitcase project !)

[givingtnt]

so I want to grab my monitor, tear it apart, and shove it inside a suitcase I have.

but now I need ideas on what I should put inside, said suitcase, regarding hardware.


Here is what I think I will do  :

put a raspberry pi2 (model #?)
put a snes and a nes (or some old console thats epic to play on the go)
 

what else should I try shoveing in it ? I mean, the sky is pretty much the limit here. I am not planning on putting any kind of batteries in this thing either sooo..


any ideas ?

For suitcases if you don't want to spend that much, you can always check your local Goodwill. I find dozens of them there every week. A RPi would be pretty cool, but it all depends on what you want. I've seen pictures of people shoving whole rigs into their suitcase builds.

Ayyy lmao

 

IMO put in a nuc/similar into it and use that to emoulate retro games.

put a low power Pc into it ( nuc or the like ) , that way you'll have a more capable PC than the Pi 3 , and you'll be able to play old games.

well , compute stick-like computers seem like a good option .

here is one for around 100$ CAD :https://www.amazon.ca/MeeGoPad-Ubuntu-Storage-Bluetooth-Support/dp/B012R1AWVQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1463603615&sr=8-4&keywords=intel+atom+stick

 

otherwise , their is this for 120$ CAD :https://www.amazon.ca/Seesii-W5-Windows-Android-Bluetooth/dp/B01EMXGWI4/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1463603615&sr=8-5&keywords=intel+atom+stick

yeah but I think I could fit the case with a psu, mobo and cpu for less than that (q6600 + p5something miniitx)

as long as you can provide it the appropriate airflow and don't intend to power it off a battery , it should work just fine

Buy a PS3 super slim, load linux on it (yes, it's possible), tear out the hardware and put that in the suitcase.
