    I have a question kind of pertaining to this I guess, I just got my hands on an old dell laptop, I wanna gut it and mount the screen on the wall or something and mount the keyboard away from the actuall guts of the computer, how much work is involved there?

    I suck at soldering tiny wires, is there like 1500 or something that I have to do or is this something I can actually consider?

    Its been a while since I've seen a laptops guts, I would just need to lengthen the cables from the screen to the controller and the board to the keyboard right?

    Why dont you just use a PS2 keyboard or USB keyboard with it ?

    Why bother extending that ribbon cable ?

    I wanna stick with the little tiny keyboard, and even if I don't that doesn't answer my question, I can't just use a ps/2 moniter cable.
