Gutting a Thinkpad and building a PC tower. Suggestions?

#1 Post by Thinkpads4Life » Mon Apr 07, 2014 2:20 pm

Hi. I'm interested in gutting my Thinkpad t60p and putting its internals inside a PC tower. My plan is to bolt the t60's motherboard and other internals into the case of an old PC of mine (Gutted Dell PC tower). After that, beefing the thing up to make a bad*** piece of hardware? Please leave your suggestions on what I should do. The computer's display is shattered but I have it right now connected to its dock which is powering the 19" lcd monitor, keyboard/mouse and stereo speakers. Since I broke the LCD on the laptop I thought about re purposing it as a desktop. Just trying to explain my situation so I get understood better. :D

FYI. This is the same computer that I shattered the LCD.

It might be a lot easier to just get another same-size LCD or a whole lid.
