Building my own laptop?

Mar 27, 2005 9:31AM PST

Hi, I recently bought a new laptop which left me with an older Compaq Presario 1600s that is super outdated. I was thinking of maybe using the laptop case (it's a fairly nice case with room for cd drive, floppy drive, and a wireless card adapter) and buying some updated stuff (like a new mobo, new drives, new chips) I have the installation and removal documentation for the Compaq but where would i be able to find some kind of guide to help me in the process?
