HEY!! I'm hoping someone can help me. I was interested in turning my laptop into a desktop!!! Some may its stupid, SOME MAY BE RIGHT! B F I! Has anyone done it before? I want to do this to see if I can replace the graphics card or hook up another one to it. Im broke and probably will be for a little while! So looking for a cheap alt.

NO. even if you strip the laptop components from the plastic housing. 90% of laptops dont have a port for a graphics card. and those with them there is VERY limited of selection other than the orgional fitted part.
