| What if you build an actual Ryzen motherboard into an antique suitcase? You would totally have to do water-cooling and mount the radiator on the side, but with SSD drives and those extremely small motherboards... nowadays you could literally have your whole computer in a small portable-ish setup.

| You could fit a decent sized OLED display in the top with power buttons and some custom function keys, a full keyboard in the bottom, and still have room for accessorues and batteries. I'd think you would need a separate battery pack and power supply to have enough juice to use it for any period of time, so how about you just put those in another suitcase? You could go all out and put this in a rolling suitcase that you can sit on comfortably!

| First time building a cyberdeck, but having trouble with a few things. What kind of keyboard should I use? Also, is a 26800 mAh power bank a suitable power supply?
