My mom accidently hit a buy it now button on ebay and bought an old dell latitude c610 laptop. its ok for browsing and what not, but she gave it to me, so i want to know if i can do anything with it. like, would it be possible to buy a P4 laptop with a broken screen and throw it in this laptop chassey? any help or advice would be much appreciated.

sell it on ebay again xD
the P4 mobo should be slightly thinner so it might work to do a swap.

From what I've seen the whole latitude series seems to be pretty uniform in size and shape, so maybe if you found a 640 with a busted screen it would work. The only thing I would be worried about is that the I/O connections might not line up the same.

Well, they sell 2.5" boxed laptop hdds so I would image you could. I've never done it before though.
