VIDEO: Recycling Destroyed Tech into Beautiful PCs

Can someone point me in the direction of the case he maid for that mini machine he brought out?
I got a lenovo, monitor is basically dead, I want to take it apart to improve the thermals and use it solely on external display but the laptop is so big i want to chop it down.

I bought the board and it boots perfectly fine. The hdmi didn't output a signal, like suspected in the video, but the type C adapter does support a display output. I have not been able to get it to work and I've tried many different adapters that seem like they are compatible through what the manual says. Does anyone know any troubleshooting that I would be able to try to get a display working?

@bigshot You could glue little cylinders of various materials (I once used tiny sections of a plastic coat hanger as stand-off mounts/PCB pillars) straight to the acrylic, and then screw into them. Just make sure that whatever you make these mounts out of, they're a material soft enough for self-tapping screws. Or, just in case you have a soldering iron, you could melt holes through the acrylic that match the motherboard's mounting holes and go from there.

Hi all,

I actually have an old cracked imac here. I separated the screen from the internals, but before I peel the glass away, I wanted to ask about any means of protection for the bare LCD panel. I find it hard to see it surviving very long without some kind of screen protection or covering. Any thoughts or ideas?

Hi, could i do this using a 5 year old macbook air? I mean the smaller build, not the one with the display?

@waspsaremean once again, acrylic to the rescue. You can get really thin sheets of the stuff (1/16 of an inch, I think?) that I think would work pretty well as a screen protector. You'd have to find a proper way of attaching it to the screen without glue, of course, but it could be done--perhaps with a custom frame around the LCD panel edge? Also be careful not to get too many fingerprints on it after peeling off the protective wrap; that sort of ruins the "clear screen protector" element.

would anyone happen to know what this sound is?

Also @waspsaremean they’re not until

the fruit starts falling, then they are mean drunks! 

@marcdraco Are you talking about your Framework laptop screen? 🙃 Because I thought the whole panel was broken, not just the screen protector.
