That whole box will be a lot bigger than the N900 alone (plugs & cables).
I understand why you find that idea exiting (so do I), but from a practical POV, you'll have a clumsy ugly box (assuming your craftsman skills are as bad as mine), and still a bad keyboard and a mediocre screen at best.
Combine that with a slow device running outdated software (even if it's just the interface to the stick) and that's the point where I'd get a GPD pocket, which has a relatively proper screen and keyboard, and is just as fast as the stick without the added bottleneck that's introduced by whatever interfacing method you chose (ssh, vnc, whatever).
