I just bought a laptop off ebay. Im planning on removing it from the case as it has a few cracks on it however all the electronics are good?

All laptops are bespoke to they're case, so your looking at a custom build rather than just buying a generic case with ports, lcd screen etc, so you're left with a question, how neat do you want it. To start with, its a very good idea to mimic the case you have where possible, theres no need to reinvent a complicated struts layout when you already have one you can copy. Also, you will probably find that you can re-purpose a lot of the case struts in the new case, will save you sourcing parts.So, what I'd do is crack the case and take ref photos of how the whole goes together currently and use that as a guide.

Then get all the components out and spread them around so you can see how they all interconnect as you may want to include new parts (bluetooth dongle, additional ssd etc etc) so see if there are any 'gaps' you can use (just make sure they were'nt there on purpose for heat dumps, keyboard bounce etc), then see if you can find a bot to fit it all in, and if not, think about building your own. If you need inspiration, you can do a lot worse than look to the work of benheck.Com for inspiration.

Maybe get a deep picture frame and do the build inside of it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
