Step 2Chose your prey

Chose your prey
As I stated in the intro, I used an old CivilNote laptop.. (seen below).. I actually purchased 5 of them on ebay for $50.. so parts were easy to come by.

- Gut the laptop for usable parts.

You will need to keep the motherboard, and everything on it.. thus RAM, CPU, and any cards (mini PCI) that may be included.

You will also need to remove the LCD from its casing and unplug it from the motherboard.

You can either keep the hard drive or use a CF card like I did.. the CF card is nice because its silent.

You will not need the keyboard, mouse, battery or any part of the casing.
You will not need this as you will be adding a touch screen and can control the computer with that instead.
