Built an entire laptop for under 75 bucks from scavenged parts.

Works great, I just had to turn it off because the battery died. It's REALLY small.

Isn't choosing to turn off a computer and it turning off on its own due to its battery dying two different events? Which happened to you?

I find there is usually very little relevance between DM's post titles and post content. Assuming there is any content at all.

It's difficult enough just to build a laptop, let alone a scavanger.

Now that I think about it, the savanger is probably easiest to build.
