Low end pc into keyboard

i'm thinking on building a pc integrated into a keyboard, cheap yet strong enough to go online and run some kind of linux. it would preferably have a wireless internet port, a small hard drive (flash or cheaper) for the applications and OS, and the possibility to be plugged to a t.v. set or monitor lying around the house. i made this little schematic (a drawing really) but, since i'm a new user, i can't post url's and apparently i can't post pictures either, i.m. me so i can send it to you in case you're interested.

any feedback at all is welcome

I'll bet you a C-64 or VIC-20 chassis will accommodate a nano-ATX board, maybe even a uATX one...

Is there a particular reason that you have to build one yourself instead of buying a readly available one?
Try to google for Zero-FootPrint-PC. Don't know their price, but I do know that there are fairly strong ones.
