I have about had it with trying to keep a desktop computer running as my printer server at the back of the house. My idea is to take a t400, remove the screen, attach it to my Samsung flat screen, add a mouse and keyboard and be done with it. I can setup Windows to use the flat screen ahead of the process. I then would remove the t400 screen and rock and roll.
Of course the question is will the laptop function separated from the screen. Any comments would be welcomed. Thanks.

Re: Running t400 With Screen Removed
It will work without the screen. IMO the main issue would be losing the wifi antennas, unless you're using wired LAN.

Re: Running t400 With Screen Removed
I have a t400 running without a screen. It runs fine.
The wifi antennas dangle out the back of the machine.
