Question
Screen for portable computer

I'm building a small portable computer, bigger than a laptop, but still mobile and functional. The problem is I need some advice on how to get a laptop style screen to mount on it. I'm planning on setting it up tablet PC style where the screen is mounted flush on top of the case. Any ideas?

How big of an area is there going to be for the screen. I suppose you could just go pick up a 15 inch lcd from the store and modify it to fit.

What kind of components are you using for inside of the computer? Via Epia and a laptop hard drive/optical drive?

I'm using a M789CG Motherboard (Smallest and least power consuming Flex-ATX), with a VIA C3 Samual 2 2000+ Processor. Laptop Harddrive and Slimline Optical drive. Is there anyplace where you can buy screens that you dont have to disassemble first?

that would be a pretty specialist area. somewhere such as http://rswww.com/ or maybe http://www.maplin.co.uk/ may inspire you.
