Interesting idea...

So in the past few weeks...I've gained many computer parts (mainly a 486dx with a busted mobo and a p75 with a working mobo. I wanted to do something semi-unique with one of these computers and I think I have figured out what to do... I would like to buy one of those aluminum Attache briefcases and put a computer inside it. It would be like a desktop laptop. I'd most likely get a laptop monitor and mount it into the top of the case then somehow wire it into a graphics card. Then just mount the mobo to the bottom and find some way to mount the cards in slanted. I'd then just loosely secure in a keyboard and touchpad (in place of a mouse). I'd guess maybe $200 would cover the entire thing. The attache case would probably the most expensive component

Wouldn't that be something interesting to walk into a LAN party with?
