Thanks for the replies guys! I actually am wondering if somthing like this: meant for consoles would work as a portable carry case/monitor for the alpha? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A7VK16A/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1944687562&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00P45U628&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1V7SWK3CDEQWED2K24GT

or this: http://www.amazon.com/Performance-Portable-Monitor-Consoles-console-included/dp/B00P45U628?

problem is, I'm still kind of trying to make this cheaper than a laptop so far I'm a $350 + $25 for ram and $177 for an SSD = $552 for a decent, portable gaming PC which is not bad at all. Toss in that a little monitor and we are at $650-750ish range which is well within a gaming laptop on the low end.

Also, why in the world did someone come in here and just downvote everyone to zero? lolwut?
