Nice! One of those things that run Windows CE. Interesting. About the only thing I've ever interacted with that had Windows CE was those inventory scanner things they had me use back when I used to work at Wal-Mart.

No sir, this is a Raptor X. The velociraptors are those 2.5 enterpise-ish drives on a 3.5" ice pack to keep the drive cool.
I've read many accounts claiming the 3.5" heat sink is just a sales gimmick.
the fluorescent VU meter is a dead giveaway it was from the early 80s.
What do you guys think?
So? It's just a TI-84.
So? It's just an ugly TI-84 with a bunch of crap strapped to the back of it.
OH! It's a TI-84 with a Raspberry Pi inside it!
It's exactly that. Just a proof of concept. I thought the TI-84 would be a good case choice. After cutting the plastic with a Dremel for a little while the garage stunk so bad of burning plastic I put on a mask while I finished the project. The buttons are useless, just for show instead of having blank holes in their place.

I have seen raspberri pi systems shoved in just about everything so far... Game boys, Virtual boy, etc... actually, starting to feel like old and busted haha.

That is the fault of every evil world conquerer. Well, that, and James Bond.
There are other Pi's, like the Banana Pi, and the Orange Pi. The Orange Pi comes in several form factors, and compatible to the Raspberry Pi's booting process (The Banana Pi is not 100%, you need to modify it a bit for it to work). And some boards can have a SATA Drive which is interesting within itself. It it just a matter of getting an Orange Pi of the right size and shape.
Thanks for mentioning the Orange Pi, Elfen. I wasn't really aware of the project. It's very intriguing given its range of specs. I'm presently looking at the Orange Pi plus. It has a 1.6GHz quad core A7 SoC, 1GB RAM, 8GB eMMC flash, Micro SD, SATA, Gigabit Ethernet and more. Pretty substantial specs for $40.
Found this at an estate sale for $50, they originally wanted $175. The big companies that run estate sales usually way overprice stuff. The price tag, and this being buried in the corner behind a bunch of other stuff turned people away for the 3 days they had the sale, so I went 30 minutes until closing on the last day and haggled it to $50. I plan to set it up with an Audio Technica AT-LP120-USB turntable and hopefully a decent tape deck. It will be paired with these speakers: http://www.amazon.com/Infinity-Primus-Three-way-Floorstanding-Speaker/dp/B0046A8R3M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1446257399&sr=8-1&keywords=infinity+primus
Compared to the 13" MacBook, this is a pretty hefty receiver.

Apparently a little haggling on eBay will net you this for $60 shipped. How it still boots even to the simasimac screen is beyond me. I guess that means it shouldn't be *too* hard to repair.
How do you clean this up anyway? Just soap and water like the rest of them?
And guess what fell out when I popped the cover off?
