I know there are folding rackmount versions of this (i.e. from Dell), but I want something far more portable. Twice in the past month, I'd had to drive 100+ miles to a remote colo and took a full size flat panel monitor and keyboard with me. Has anyone actually built this yet?
You might want to look at "Lilliput Computer" offerings <http://www.lilliputweb.net> Add an "Adesso Flexible compact keyboard" <http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&cid=6658121900308964173> And you're in the 'in a briefcase, or a backpack' range, and nearly in the 'in a coat pocket' range. Not _exactly_ what you asked for -- it's two pieces, not one -- but close.
