I have thought for a while now that I would like to build my own laptop (or at least portable) computer. Despite hunting around quite a bit I could not find any real resources to guide me on pulling it off. Until yesterday (January 25). Torquil Harkness recently decided to build his own portable computer - and succeeded. Harkness was nice enough to photograph and document the project and then send the story in to Mini-ITX.com.
Harkness was looking for an all-around portable computer at a decent price. When he could not find what he was looking for he built his own. The custom-made aluminum case houses a 2GHz processor with 1GB RAM. Harkness was able to build exactly what he wanted at a reasonable price; best of all, the computer is easily upgradable - not something that can be said of most laptop computers.
