After much thinking im going to start doing fault finding on car's with a scanner and such so i needed a laptop, i looked around and got hold of one, it then broke and i couldnt find the right connector to fix it.
Being the smart fellow i am (also pc klepto) i decided to build my laptop (well not laptop really but youl see.)
step one: find a large tool box.

step two: fit old pc components into sed tool box.

Step three: install a nifty little switch to switch it on.

step four get a screen and wire it up (this does work just couldnt find the cable when taking the pics)

So in the end this little thing has cost me £80 in total all thats left is to mount the switch and the screen and mount the external cables.
