So I have been busy working on other stuff but today I was digging in my shop and found a sheet of stainless and also a sheet of aluminum. Both thick gauge and both would be perfect for me to use as a base to start my Xbox laptop project back up.
I think I am going to do that tomorrow since I have everything I need except for an LCD controller board which I am about to order off of eBay.
But looking at those controller boards and other 12v and 24v power options, coupled with the link LSUToo posted about mounting a TFT display, got me to thinking about building a portal APU unit with a Mini-ITX mobo and a built in TFT screen.
I need to read up more but I think I could power it with this and an external laptop brick.
I was even thinking I could do it with a Pico-ITX board and dedicated GPU but all of the ones I have found have shitty built in CPUs.
