Yo!
Umm...
Kinda hard to talk about stuff after an intro like that...
...Anyways, I'm obsessed with putting my own stuff together, especially of late. Right now I'm wanting to get a laptop drive to use (my reasons are my own... heh, heh), and I'm wondering: is the "laptop" (2.5") SATA connection the same as that in a regular PC? And what about the power supply?
...And while I'm at it, does anyone know of a (simple) way of connecting a LCD display, like those found in laptops, to a typical connection? A thought of mine for that unspoken thing is to have a parallel circuit for both the vid-out and at least one of the built-in displays (i.e. they would use the same line, thus produce the same output), but I can't tell whether or not the pin-outs are even remotely compatible.
Thanks again; any help is appreciated (especially about the drives).
