Converting Parts of 12" Powerbook to Media Center


Recommended Posts

I recently started a project of converting a Powerbook to a media center that would stay attached to my entertainment center (will use CenterStage as interface).

So my question is, what are the bare bones essential parts of the Powerbook that I would need to have a rumming system? I'm scrounging parts and buying from Ebay.

Currently I have from a 12" Powerbook:

* 1.33ghz logic board DVI

* DC to DC board

* Inner Frame (with fan)

* Heat Sink

Now the obvious parts needed would be ram, hard drive, and DC In Board. Don't need the battery and the modem nore the speakers. Don't need a display but a touch screen would be nice. ;)

Probably should put in a superdrive.

A case like this would be nice!

But what can I exclude and still have a working system?

Any and all help/info is appreciated!

Jim
