if i were u, i'd care less about case modding. just slap some 12mm fans, hook it up to a big ass tv via s-video, add a wireless keyboard and it's ready to go as my 24/7 porn rig

edit: anyway, without telling us even the laptop model or brand won't help anything at all. a pic should help us how to rape your lappie better

Well, I am facing the same condition as the thread starter too...

The frame of the LCD cracked. What I did was ripped off the LCD, just plug monitor through the VGA out, viola.

But then, it is currently lying aside. No point use it since it is only an old P3 lappy.

while were on the subject of laptop modding...

i have an old acer (i think) laptop that i wanna rip apart... and i was wondering if its possible to connect the LCD monitor to a desktop GC via analog or DVI. S-Video is not an option as its currently taken up by my TV biggrin.gif

anyone knows how to do it if its even possible?

maybe you can turn it into a htpc. tap a network cable to it and attach a wireless kB. plug the video out or the vga to the big screen and watch all your downloaded series or movies via your living room.
