So I want to put a regular Mini ITX board into a all in one desktop, and i have been looking at a Lenovo M72 chassis. Is this doable?

If you got a dremel, time, and a whole lot of will power...then yes.

Just get a VESA compatible MiniITX case and be done with this. There is no point in modding an M72 when a much easier solution exists. Also look into MicroITX and NanoITX boards. What are you trying to do that requires a custom board?

Another issue is the video input of the screen. Even if it's eDP (Embedded Displayport) I've yet to encounter a motherboard with Displayport output; it's usually just HDMI.

The current case that is in I think is a vesa. It's an eMachine Mini case like you would see in somebody's office, but I crammed a gigabyte Mini ITX board with an i7 4790k and a GTX 1050 TI in it

The eMachine looks bigger and would make it much easier.

Just make a mount for a Shuttle X1 computer. Has a i7-7700HQ and GTX 1060 in a very similar form-factor.
