This is what I figured. I have done tons of searching. I just hoped that MAYBE someone knew something I did not. I may see about getting a case and asking the company to send an additional top, just incase i FUBAR it.

just go to a recycling center and buy an old server case or HP SFF case (they're a similar design) and try it out with that and keep trying until you're satisfied with those and then do your final product

you're going to need to make it yourself or have someone else make it. Buy a standard 4U case and put a plexi window on it by cutting a hole and getting a plexi glass peice cut to size. or you could just leave the top of the case off. 

yes you can

This is just a bad move on Razer.... yeah peope will still buy it because it's Razer but if they wanted to make a cheap laptop then they should have made something for normal everyday use with light gaming in mind. Not just gaming, gaming, gaming, gaming. 

like the stealth? 

just go to a recycling center and get a thinkpad or latitude running with evrything but an os for  less than $100. thats cheaper than replacing a school laptop if you somehow fuck it up. I'm 99% sure if you ask to they'll say no. Aren't school laptops only to be used for school stuff anyways?

The Valkyrie is essentially a (Naked) sporty gold wing. I don't need a lot of utility on a bike. 

i know i just think the Valkyrie is ugly 

go for the rebel

That huge thing  Its almost as big as the 1800cc Valkyrie. I'll pass

 

goldwing?

Yeah the Zuma has kind of a funky design. I was thinking more along the lines of the old designs

But then again.. Not really looking for anything under 500ish CC's.. And i'm completely snowed in on cruisers at the moment

 

get a burgman 650

Never really liked the ruckus. Looks like all the stripped down scooters when i was in high school.

 

If i was getting a honda i'd get a CB750,Rebel, Shadow or Valkyrie 

The rebel is nice, I had a zuma and would recommend it except 99% of anyone says your headlight is out but one is a low beam and one is a high.

Oh dont you worry , 2strokes are my specialty , but i was thinking more in line with the Tomos line of mopeds . APN6 to be precise.

My neibghour has two Vespas . I got a ride on one as a reward from helping him fix it up . Its a comfy ride but it likes to tilt to the right side since the engine weight isnt balanced by anything. 

The vespas are not balanced on the old ones and slow and heavy on newer ones. They're more like apple products now than anything

Yup. Scooter friendly. 

I'd rock a vespa. If hipsters hadn't ruined them.

Get a ruckus. The least hipster scooter

Man , the more i see of these the more i want one myself . 

They are the most fun you can have. I've rode a Zuma 50 (owned for like a week) and this. This honda is way more peppy but the throttle is 100x more sensitive than the zuma. You kind of need to go 1/2 throttle and get up to 10 or 15 then wide open and go up to 35-40. If you go closed to wide open like you would with the zuma you bog out around 20. No reason not to get one. You can get something japanese (good don't get chinese) used and running well for $600 or less.you get 100 mpg and maintenance is minimal (tires is all basically if you get a 2 stroke) also they last forever like this 88  elite did (2 stroke will last longer because you never need an oil change

Are we scooter friendly here too? I'm working on my 1988 Honda Elite 50cc (Rear tire tube needs new) 

don't think so, might need an upgrade

nope no sli support

factor in to the price a good stand 

what I like to do is buy cheap thinkvision monitors at the thrift store and just use the stand

If you live near a microcenter you can get an open box that's normally $150 for like $47 if you're lucky

it is probaly the best choice for gaming but not for crypto currency

if he wants crypto his best is for vega and rx 580s have shot up to like $400 a piece iirc because of eth mining

Not as durable as the classic bulletproof thinkpads tho

Yes it is business and enterprise grade machines

Dedicated graphics so light gaming

maybe next time I will get an x220 or x230. 

They're durable machines?

Just now, Gaurav S Rao said:

Really? I though CPU's were soldered on since Broadwell

 

Did'nt see it had a dedicated GPU,must have been a gaming laptop from 2013/14,but for $40,man just a parts machine is probably more like a price u can get a referbished Prime systems with e8400's! (-.-) huge find man.that laptop gotta be worth more than $800 when it was new!

It is a lattitude so kind of like a thinkpad 

buisness and enterprise focus i think 

not very gamery but it odes have a backlit keyboard

for reference at $280AUD I got 3360M + 4GB, dropped 16GB of RAM into it and a 250GB SSD as well as external GPU

 

next upgrade is 3630qm or something

make sure you can remove the cpu becuase in a lot of cases you can't

holy shit, that's a find. for $100 it's insane. 

yes sir it is

better than those two OEM i bought with 1 charger and 1 battery for $170 total they had like i3 2120m and 320gb hdd. 

It's a steal at that price. 

Just yesterday, visited the recycling center looking for throwaway laptops, (as if I didn't have enough already) I was looking through the thinkpads, x230s x220s, etc etc all like $70 total. My mom says to me "Are you sure you want a thinkpad?" so I go to the other systems, lots of old HP stylus things that were total junk. But then looking through the piles of junk Dell laptops I find this. A Latitude e6440, now just seeing the core i7 sticker and the $40 tag of course I needed to test it. I ask to test it because they let you do that at this place before you buy. I put ram in it and plug it in (didn't know the battery was functional) it boots to bios, good enough for me. So I buy it for $40, $5 for a power brick, $10 for 8gb of ddr3 sodimms, and $18 on a 500gb hdd. Given it's a dell from ~2014, the hard drive didn't fit. I go to another machine and swap the hard drive and the 120gb ssd from it. When I get home, it will not boot for whatever reason (ram speed or something the 1333 stick wouldn't work at all only my 1600mhz ram would work. No big deal $5 loss. Install windows 7 and use the key that was included under the battery. Working good! Best part is, it has a core i7 4600m, 4gb ram, 120g ssd, and an AMD 8690m GPU. Not the best but could have done a whole lot worse. Also has a backlit keyboard. 

Recap of expenses : 

$40 parts laptop 

$5 working ram 

$5 bad ram (loss) 

$40 ssd 

not counting hdd because it wasn't used and is used in other system now.
