Started a layout of my Cyberdeck on CAD

Very much in progress. Here is what I have done. First some quick notes and partial material lists.

Note:
1. Dimension in the sketches are internal sizes

2. This is still very much work in progress
3. I plan to use the Rpi Zero W as a Wifi Client and Wifi AP, and it will probably connect to a 5 port
ethernet hub. The Rpi Zero W will be the DHCP server. Using Log2RAM to extend the life of the microSD
4. 2 Rpi 4 will be in the case, ClusterFS will be used to sync them. There will be 1 Primary and the other the slaves. It will be a re
5. Physical switches will be on the front panel to control power to the various modules, probably will add some e-paper
to display some basic info, etc.
6. Modules will be powered by 18650 batteries in UPS board. AC to DC suppy to charge the UPS will need to fit inside the case
7. Will have to determine the best location for all the air vents
8. Unit will need to be able to splash proof, at least won't get mess up when caught in the rain outdoor.
9. Many things to do and thing about.


Material Lists:
1. Water Proof Case - Model 3035H, Outer Dimension 385x358x175mm
2. LCD IPS - 2560x1600, display area 216.96x15.6mm, 2 x Mini HDMI, 1 x microUSB, 1 x DC Input. The microUSB is for DEX connection like from Samsung.
3. Keyboard - Model KU-1255, Thinkpad USB with trackpoint. The blacklight does not work on Rpi


 Here are the photos of the KU-1255:




Here are some sketches I have done so far:





The display area for the LCD is smaller. I use the entire dimension of the LCD for my planning.



Keyboard will be recess in as in the above sketch.

That's all for now.
