[QUOTE="One Equals Two, post: 1016457, member: 146880"] ^^^ I've got hookups with people that recycle this kind of "junk". Ebay gets me a case and keyboard, etc. for about $30-70 (no screen etc.), but I know guys that will just give me "old" parts for free. One's a Mac dealer who throws away broken parts all the time. He replaces so many parts a day he doesn't have time to mess with "piddly crap" like repairing a logic board or piecing together a computer. At dozens of computers to fix a day, put it this way, I can get blown logic boards for free if I wanted. He just tosses them because they're out of warranty, and as a dealer, he repairs stuff with new parts anyway. At least that seems like what the story is, but either way, I can get broken parts for dirt cheap from him. The only thing he doesn't have are cases laying around, and good optical drives. Batteries too. Anyway, I can make a laptop for that much, I just need to know how to repair a logic board. If I can repair them, then I'll pick up his junk and fix it. If I can't find a good way to repair them, then I'm screwed because you're right, a board is $200 at least, at that's used. It throws a wrench in the whole plan. I can find screens for cheap as well, (I know a lot of people). [/QUOTE]
