Mitternacht

All you people should know by now that if a project starts with "Wieder," it's gonna be a good creation by Mitternacht. :D Now for the torture and abuse story:
My teacher bought her daughter a Gateway Labtop. After 1-2 years use, the screen got cracked somehow, and it needed a new screen. It sat for 1-2 years, and yesterday this one jack-off in my class tried fixing it, and the amazing part was that my teacher trusted him. She gave me the labtop.

After he was mad at it, he threw it on the floor. Now in addition to a screen, I need the lower part of the case.

A bin of parts that need reinstalled.

The screen I need:

Need new hinges.

Here's the hinges (one siezed up, one broken and one broke hinge cover; other cover MIA):

It comes wiht built-in Wireless Internet; that's nice.

Going inside...

I love how interesting the inside of labtops are. See the heatsink?

The processor is offset, and the heat tube on top of the contact plate takes the heat, and transfers it over to copper fins.

A vent in the bottom of the PC sucks air up, and then thows it through the copper fins.

Something I've never seen before: the processor...

...is removable. In a labtop?

My guess it's a Pentium 4; 478 pins, and 2 missing in a corner.
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/gigaglytch/DSCN1392.jpg
Similar in size to a Pentium 4
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/gigaglytch/DSCN1393.jpg
Except one pin is offset; I guess that designates it as a labtop P4.

I'm gonna look around for another Gateway like this, one with a bad motherboard. I could use everything else. The Processor and RAM, if it's better, the HDD, if it's bigger, and especially the screen. This is gonna be a good mod.
I didn't look into it, but I bet this might be, if not, one of the first labtop overhauling mods. I know of an iBook being dyed, but that's simple; this is gonna be a "rebuild"
*WINK WINK* (Don't ask me what the name stands for in German; come on; it's obvious, :D)
