I totally understand the goal and thinking behind this direction. Thinking out of the box - raspberryPi 4 compute module on custom carrier board stuffed to T60 chassis would probably fit the bill too, at lower cost and maybe better performance. I am certain, that there are other out of the box ideas. Also - Not every failure leads to positive learning outcome for everyone. I would probably feel pretty bad about failing project where 100 individuals would loose $1.2k in my 20'. I am not sure if I'd be the same person I am today.... Just saying ... -T
