hi guys, im sure as you can see, my yo yo is possibly dead...but then again maybe so is my AC in board. now im looking on ebay, and im seeiing a ton of parts for all 3 models, moreso the pismo/lombard.

now i was seriously thinking upgrading my wallstreet with powerlogix, lotsa ram, big HDD, USB/firewire etc...

but thats gonna cost a ton.

what im curious is, could i just buy like, say a pismo motherboard and CPU, and fit it into my wallstreet case? would it work with the LCD/Keyboard? yes i know id have to dremel a hole for USB

its the PC user in me...hotrod a laptop, save myself a few bucks...is there a site thatll list all interchangable parts?

Thanks in advance

Most Pismo and Lombard parts are interchangeable, but neither of them would work with a Wallstreet.
The HD and the RAM are about the only parts you could use in all three.

It would be a heckuva lot cheaper to just get a Pismo or an older iBook than to spend the money on a ton of upgrades for an aged Wallstreet.
