Laptop rebuild that ended up getting signed by cast member of a scifi show.

I did this for fun but never thought to post it here, only posted it on a subreddit. It was a full rebuild to mint condition just for fun because I noticed it in Stargate SG1 while binge watching one weekend a long time ago. Took a while to get all the parts and housing pieces that were new old stock to rebuild it. Only parts I didn't replace was the motherboard, lcd, and dvd-rom drive. Then when it was finished finally, well the world drama started and I couldn't get it signed. But eventually a couple months ago I finally got it signed. It was a fun project, even managed to find some original video artwork used in the show that moves. Not exactly what I'd call retro hardware but getting close now days. It was a lot of fun, lot of shopping, and even plane rides and hotel stay involved. But meh I'm a geek, so it's just all in a days work.
