I had a capacitor explode very close to my face once. Luckily I was not hit, but the whole room smelled funny afterwards. This capacitor was quite a bit beefier than the ones you have on a motherboard.

It has no explosive parts except for capacitors maybe, but you can hold one against your skin and when it explodes you'd be fine (You'd just smell really bad)

I added a diskette drive on the side yesterday. It is stacked on top of the harddisk and fits under the keyboard. When I get rid of the power strip there will be some more space to add things. I could add a battery for powering things like lights, my usb fan, a small 5 watt dremel tool or for charging my phone, but the pc won't run off it.

All of the parts are fcc approved, so it is legal to bring it with me. I think they would dismantle it to search for drugs and weapons though x.x

There is now a power strip inside the laptop O.O You just need one power cable to run the whole thing. I might get rid of this power strip and solder the power directly into the screen and PSU, but for now it works.

are iframes allowed on google sites? You could host the thing elsewhere and include it in your page using a frame

This screen is 4:3 && 19 inch. Definitely much larger than most laptops :3

Nope. It has a PC power supply in it. I might be able to make some kind of custom supply so it can work on batteries, but I don't think it'd be worth it. The battery would not last very long because the screen, motherboard and harddisk are not low-power laptop parts.

I wish to add speakers and a floppy drive to this thing next. I am not sure where I want to put them yet though

Yep I was going for an old-school look. I think the keyboard looks great on it. The yellowed spacebar matches the color of the suitcase and the screen just fits perfectly. I know that LCD's weren't around yet, but I think I could not fit a crt in it.
