Do you mean like using a Small Form Factor case and putting an LCD screen on it so that it flips up?

[EPYK]

precisely.... have you seen the new dell xps loptops... something like that...

i got most everything planed out except the powersupply.. i need a small form factor but i need to power the lcd too.

You could just make a box for your PSU and have it externally.

I remeber there were some really small 300w psu you could buy can't remember what brand. Maybe you could use two of em to power it and have them internal.

i will plan out a way to make an adaptor for the pci slot for video card and for a pc to pcmia slot

i found a keyboard/touchpad i will use... and a low profile 500 watt psu
