I'm attempting to build a very low budget small computer that sits in a Backpack sort of thing, with a hand held monitor that connects from the pack,
I'm sort of new to building PC's and was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me find the best parts for the build,
I'm thinking more of a laptop build to fit in the pack so I can use a rechargeable battery,
I would also need a smaller mother board.
Minimum Spec's I'm looking for: ( I would Love too keep everything as Cheap as possible )
CPU: Intel Pentium D or AMD Athlon 64 (K8) 2.6 GHz
RAM: 4GB
GPU (Integrated): Intel HD Graphics or AMD (formerly ATI) Radeon HD Graphics with OpenGL 2.1.
GPU (Discrete): Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT or AMD Radeon HD 2400 with OpenGL 3.1
HDD: At least 500MB
Thanks For your Help!

I don't see why you don't get a laptop, rip it apart and extend the cables that go from the motherboard to the screen. There is only 1 really and thats the screen power cable. You might even be able to find one online which is already a long one. Else, I'm sure they won't be too hard to mod with a bit of soldering.
A laptop motherboard is fairly small anyway so that's a bonus. You could then extend off the Sata data and power to else where in your case / foldabale thing so you could put like an SSD there. This will make sure that when your transporting it, you don't damage the HDD since an SDD has no moving parts.
Happy to give advice where possible on this. Sounds like a fun little project.
