Adding a Capacitive Touch Screen

So I felt inspired by an article I read on Lifehacker some months back. Someone took an old laptop and turned it into a tablet device by removing the keyboard and lid and adding a capacitive touchscreen. I just happen to have an old 2008 laptop that I'm about ready to junk, so I thought I'd try to do the same thing. I figure I need three things: an acetylene torch, an arc welder, and a capacitive touchscreen (I'm going on the assumption that knowledge, education and experience are non-critical). Assuming I have the torch and welding equipment, where would I go to find an appropriate touchscreen?

 

Using a torch and welding equipment without much experience? What could go wrong?

Here you go. Good luck.

I like to hack things including computers and have no idea why an acetylene torch and an arc welder would be useful for something like this. Assuming you aren't kidding I recommend that you instead learn to use epoxy glue and epoxy fillers (putty etc).

Edit: Also I notice a lack of information of what kind of computer you'd use. Model, screen size and aspect ratio are the basics needed to answer.

 

I know, right?

The computer is a 14 inch Asus F8SP. My plan is to remove the optical drive, and resize the hard drive with a hammer. If that doesn't work, I'll discard the HDD and add an SSD instead. The current native resolution is 1280 x 800, but it's got a ridiculously huge bezel, so I may have some wiggle room. I may end up having to come up with a different solution for the bezel anyway, because the webcam solution on this thing is a bit nonstandard.

I may also get 1/10 of the way through this, and discard the project because I really don't know what I'm doing (that part is no joke).

Epoxy glue and epoxy filler is useful information, by the way.
