jhd Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 That thing is so cute and utterly impractical! Back in the early-1980s, there was an official IBM desk "accessory" shaped like an original PC (and monitor) that was about this size. The keyboard pulled out into a drawer (I used it for paperclips), and there was an additional storage cavity inside the monitor (used for pens). I found it at a yard sale decades ago; I'd post a picture, but it is in a box somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He cut out the monitor and installed the screen, the pi zero is in the drawer and the front of the drawer was cut out and 3D printed disc drives that can be opened and closed installed lol. For actual gaming it is kinda impractical but it's cute and actually does function 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightytodd Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Maybe someone just needs to come up with a PC-themed case for one of these... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Maybe someone just needs to come up with a PC-themed case for one of these... Just get a cruddy netbook, they use the same processors, AND include their own screen and keyboard! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsdee Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 The GPD Win 1 has an Intel x7 processor, it's the faster version of the x5 used for that board. Granted, the GPD Win costs 10 times more (about 350 bucks) but it does ship with Windows and everything else already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willbilly Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I actually started designing on an atomic pi case....it got a little out of hand because I love sheetmetal construction. Anyway I'm waiting for some funds to do a prototype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
