Also, take a look at metal toolboxes. I have one that fits my 9" screen great, and it could probably be run over by a car and still work. :mrgreen: Maybe.

If you want a huge screen, use ben's pelican case from his 360 laptop.

Where can I find a cheap 7" or 9" screen?

I was looking on AEI Comp but they are really expensive. :(

Dude, no way, how could you both come up with the same design, that is crazy, I never even thought of doing it that way, my DC laptop was gonna have the screen on the bottom, and the drive on the top, man, dude. :lol:
WOAH MAN! Thats like mine but upside down. Wait! Touch screen?

@AfroLH and Samjc3:

I have a few. One is LED backlit. :P I also have a 6" 4:3 ratio screen.

Make an offer! I would probably take a trade of smaller screens and call it even. ;)

It is good quality. :mrgreen: I need to make it work, I sent it to Bibin, who got solder all over the ribbon connector... :facepalm: I will check back when I know.

Also, the non-LED modded 7" has a switch for widescreen or 4:3 modes.

Ideally, enough for me to get a 3.5" LCD off DX. DX is mostly down right now, the upgrade is almost done, though! :mrgreen: Let me get back to you when I know.

Also, no clue on the res, I think it is 800x480, but I may be wrong.

Question:
I am thinking about using a Pelican Case for the Laptop.
Is this a good case for it?
