is there any way for my old monitor laptop to be DIYed to have a single output which is usb c?

Your title says "old monitor laptop" so what are we talking about here, adding a USB C to a laptop?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

no, he's talking about taking his old laptop apart and reuse the monitor by making it accept video signal through type C.

 

@AmanKhan easier to make it to HDMI

@Jurrunio yes but how and where can I find any tutorial or buy the parts that I needed?

You can use USB C or any cable for that matter, as long as the pins line up to where they need to go and the signal being carried is compatible with the screen.

 

However, given it's an old laptop screen (assuming 10+ years old or so), I would just stop here. Most laptop screens don't use a standard that's compatible with the ones you find on a desktop.

You can find on eBay lcd controller boards , which have  a chip on them which converts the signal that comes in through hdmi, vga, displayport or dvi into the format the lcd panel actually expects.

Your laptop has this controller chip on the motherboard, or the video card on the motherboard actually produces those signals directly.

 

So first you have to figure out what kind of connection type your lcd panel uses. If you're lucky, you'll find some stickers on the LCD panel which will tell you the manufacturer and model number, then you can google for that along with keywords like "datasheet" and that will tell you what kind of connector the lcd panel has.

With this information, you can go on eBay and pick a lcd controller board with the right connector for your panel.

 

Once you get it working with a lcd controller board, you can start investigating how to receive some video signal on a usb type c connector and convert that to a regular plain boring video signal (hdmi, displayport, dvi, vga, whatever the lcd controller board you buy has.

 

Also your laptop panel's resolution is unlikely to be 720p, more likely it's 1280x600 or 1280x800 or 1366x768

(hd ready)

Might not be worth it but the video that was linked is a good start. You'll basically need a controller board for your display and some way to power it.

Take a look on http://www.panelook.com/ for your particular LCD information - in particular, its interface connector type. From there you can use eBay or Google to find yourself a matching eDP Adapter, hopefully something with a USBC connector.
