So I was thinking about building my own shitposting machine. I was going to buy a cheap used netbook but that's boring and I have money to waste. I have a gathered a list of materials, some of which I already have.

>keyboard with trackpoint

>memeberry pi zero wireless with sd card and adapters
https://www.amazon.com/CanaKit-Raspberry-Wireless-Starter-Official/dp/B06XJQV162/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1492268812&sr=1-3&keywords=raspberry+pi+zero+w

>display for the laptop

>14000 mah battery pack
I already have one and it has two USB A ports, one for the computer and one for the display.

>6 inch micro usb cables for power supply (x2)
Already have these.

>mini hdmi to full hdmi cable
Have that too.

>case
I have a cool silver case to put it in that used to have art supplies in it from before I gave up on art because I'm bad at it.

Other than sanity and a gf, is there anything I'm missing?

Pi zero have rather shitty performance, I couldn't get my mouse running, it does not support plug'n play USB, better buy Pi3

i'm gonna need some pics, anon

>>59905335
I have thought about doing the same thing with a pi3 but there is really no point to it.

I think a much better idea would be to install a pi in my car.
>>
just buy a thinkpad or a chromebook, OP.
No, you're not creative at all by attempting that. kys

Good to know.

>>59906070
I'll post here after I get all the parts and finish it. Might be a couple of months. I haven't bought anything yet. Just throwing around ideas.

>>59906190
It's just for fun. I can always use the pi and the keyboard for other things as well if I don't like the 4chan shitposting machine.

>just be a consumer whore and don't have fun
Thanks, I'll name it the (You)top 9000.
