I'm thinking of building a traveler style PC clone.  Most of these use
LCD type displays.  Anyway I need to find-out the following:

   1. Where can I get the case with the LCD display?

   2. What kind of card or what is needed to interface a AT board to
      the LCD display and where can I get it?

I'm thinking of building one so that I can get the exact setup I want.
Something like a 20Mhz 286, with 1:1 interleave RLL 65meg fast hard disk,
8 megs of memory, one floppy and a good VGA card (for use with an external
monitor).  This system would be for software development, hence the hard
disk and the massive ram.  The reason I would like to put it in a traveler
style case is so that I could carry it to work and back and take it with
me on planes and such.  

Any help, ideas, or pointers to information is welcome.

                                   Thank you,
                                      Wayne Knapp
