    I made a laptop by using a donor PC a Dell Vostro 220S just one. CPU and cooler bought new old stock and model M purchased
    My builds specs
    Motherboard DELL P301D
    CPU Intel Pentium E5400
    CPU Cooler stock cooler
    RAM 4gb ram
    PSU rose will 750 watt (I feel like it was way overboard)
    GPU GT1030 graphics card
    HDD Random WD Blue with 250gb of storage
    Keyboard The one the only IBM Model M13 track-point
    Mouse The aforementioned M13. It has a internal track-point
    The monitor is a Compaq monitor
    Case is plastic
    How to make is to place all things on the case plug everything in and boom there you go
