Wow, maybe I'll check it out as well. Let me know if you see any other deals! If not, I'll just go with the gateway.

Hmm, I found this, it's slightly cheaper, but is it any good?

Alright, I've been watching the watercooling setup still and it looks pretty good although the pump alone will run me about $100. Anyways, can anyone give me any direction on how to put together a radiator and reservoir like that? I not exactly sure how the rad was made, and would it even be efficient?

Alright can someone check these monitors out and tell me which is the best? Out of the cheaper ones there, under $130. They seem to have some new ones. Also is the resolution is 1440x900, would that affect running perfectly at 720p?

Has anyone worked with any of these? If so, I'd probably go with that one if you're willing to offer help if I need it. I was trying to find the one ben used, but I cannot. So I may not know exactly what to do on it.

I have played around with the second one on that list, it is nice.

Seems to be the same monitor ben used on his latest portable. If anyone has files or drawings showing where to split the internal boards of this monitor, it would be greatly appreciated. Without them I cannot buy this monitor, as I fear I will not do the right thing without knowing what someone else has done and had success with. If it was something that wouldn't mess up the whole project I wouldn't care as much, but this is really important to the laptop obviously. I'm really hoping to show you guys something good, soon.

My props to you if you can pull this off, takes a lot of ballz to rip apart a 360. Good luck with the water cooling to, I've heard from a lot of people that it can be a little unwieldy at best. Good luck!

Haha thanks, I'm still trying to find the westinghouse monitor to make this project just that much easier. Once I do I will begin. I will have something to show no matter how long from now it is (since I have school and all as well), whether it be completed or a failure. I am really just doing this for the fun and experience.
