| I hope this thread doesnt die out, as I am looking to actually build
this portable, and I would like some feedback. I will respond to any
input as well. So, fare well, and heres my third plea for information
about buying parts from otherwise damaged laptops. So, what I am
looking to spend is something like $650: |

Laptops in stock
All laptops come with a warranty which covers all parts. The warranty is
with ourselves as most of the laptops
have been repaired by us or from auctions. They come pre-installed with and
operating system, Driver CDs if available and a bag. We are looking into a
taking Visa, Switch etc.. but if your like me, Im a great believer in
seeing what im paying for first. Were based near Bolton, Lancs. I have a
small resouces for bits, so if your need anything.. chances are you wont be
lucky.. but who knows.. |

| Back to the motherboard. In building your own portable, the best
option seems to be the PC/104+ standard. This is a motherboard which
is about 4 or 5 inches square. Check www.google.com for this and
youll find a bunch of links. Unfortunately, these motherboards are
not in high volume production, and so they cost a mint, relative to
their performance (I wish the sites that I had found would just list
the damn prices rather than asking that you email for a quote...grrr.)
Another option is using a small form-factor regular motherboard, such
as the NLX size which is about 8x10 or so. Thirdly, one could use an
integrated regular motherboard like Intels 810, or a Cyrix Media GX,
or finally, I understand there is a product called I-Opener which has
a small motherboard, which can and has been hacked, and so could
possibly be made portable. The latter two options (Cyrix, I-Opener)
seem to be good options, since they are both low power consumers and
these motherboards have been used in laptops.. |
