It’s alive!
It was a minor adventure, but the laptop is up and running happily. Having never cracked open a laptop before (at least not with the intentions of having it run flawlessly when I was done) I approached the project with a bit of trepidation. Luckily, it’s almost easier than building a desktop machine.
- Asus chassis with a 15.4″ SXGA screen
- Intel Pentium M clocked at 2.0ghz
- ATI Mobility Radeon 9700
- 60 gig IBM/Hitachi Travelstar 7200rpm hard drive.
- 1 gig of Mushkin 333mhz PC2700 RAM
- Interchangeable 24X/24X/8X/24X DVD+CD-RW Combo
The part list is basically the same as I posted earlier, but here are the details.
