Arnov Sharma created a PC-in-a-keyboard using a Raspberry Pi 5, called the Raspberry Pi 1000. The project involves using a membrane keyboard, custom 3D printed enclosure, a cooling fan, an M.2 Hat with a 128GB NVMe SSD, and a volume knob connected to a microcontroller. The PC can boot in 6 seconds and handle tasks like Minecraft and 4K video streaming. Detailed documentation including a parts list, CAD files, and code is available on Hackster.io.
