    OMG wow! Nice job man. Probably won't shut but it's a really good temporary solution - especially to get data off.

    Nice one!

    To get data off? Why do that when you can continue to game? ;)
    You should have done this though. :D

    How the heck did you do that?????????

    Have you got the VGA/DVI output from the back of the notebook feeding into the monitor or have you converted the normal laptop monitor output into a signal for the big monitor?

    That is nice man. Thanks for posting it. It looks so professionally done as well - all neat and tidy. Nice, very nice.

    An external wireless keyboard is in order, besides the mouse...

    Yeah, wireless keyboard is nice, but it cuts down on the whole... portability part of it. The screen has a nice handle up at the top, so as long as your used to lugging around 40 pounds, then your all set. :D

    WOW, only a WOW addict would do that.
    I guess you cannot break from the game for a while
    Youre pretty lucky, that the 17" screen worked in the graphics slot on the graphics card in the 15" laptop

    Syndrome, is that real, or is that photoshopped?

    I'm not that good at photoshop, if I was then I'd take that bag of Dorito's out. ;)
