Im sure it CAN be done, whether or not it is worthwhile is another question. Never heard of it being done though, good luck.

probably one of the easiest mods ever. just transplanting a laptop to a desktop case right?

if i didnt need my laptop right now (which i barely do) i would jump on that mod in a second.

cooling would be easy too if you mad some custom WC'ing.

The comp would suck compared to a desktop, but it would be neat in its own way.

it would take away the only purpose in which laptops are better than desktops, but the cooling would be a lot easier(even overkill, since laptop components are designed to operate at the lowest temperature possible).

i wouldnt do it, but if youve got the time, money, and think its worth it. go for it!
and dont forget the pics ;)

seems pointless... put the laptop on you desk plug in a monitor and call it a desktop.
