Description

The plan is to remove all of the connectors on a raspberry pi to slim it down and put a screen on it to make a nice little package to put on my wall and give me statistics that I want (such as how much is in my bank account and the value or certain cryptocurrencies and how some of my investments are doing)

1 × Raspberry Pi
1 × Adafruit PiTFT Mini Kit http://goo.gl/kzouo1

Ordered a sample of the mirrored acrylic to see if the TFT will be bright enough to push light through it from the back. Might look super sexy if it works

Plan right now is to get the entire pi and screen combo to be under 7mm so I can get a wood frame laser cut from ponoko and then a piece of leather cut to put on top of it
