Hi, I did this once using a set of parts from a white box manufacturer. I did get some sighted assistance to ensure I got the CPU and a couple of other parts fitted correctly, and the machine is still working now. Having said that, I dread your other messages and not sure I could have got rid of the screen without some more in-depth electronics working, as the hinges and everything were already on the case. The fun part was fitting various expansion cards to the system, I got a wifi and Bluetooth mini PCI card for the unit, and you could get various different aerials that went in several places inside the machine. Thanks. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of John G.
