Posted March 31, 2016 you can buy laptop motherboards that are somewhat upgrade but i dont believe any desktop motherboard manufactures make that kind of ram slots. You will also need laptop ram Project Iridium: CPU: Intel 4820K CPU Cooler: Custom Loop Motherboard: Asus Rampage IV Black Edition RAM: Avexir Blitz Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD and Seagate Barracuda 3TB HDD GPU: Asus 780 6GB Strix Case: IN WIN 909 PSU: Corsair RM1000 Project Iridium build log http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/451088-project-iridium-build-log/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 31, 2016 Satisfy my curiosity, a custom build laptop? that stuff is usually too proprietary to build. even if you could find the motherboard more than likely it wont fit into another chassis.

They may be on the back if you can't see them in the picture, as these are OEM boards so its easier for the consumer to upgrade. But in most of the pictures you can see them.

There's laptop compatible and desktop compatible, one runs at a much lower speed and is smaller in order to stay properly cool in laptops. I suggest you do some research before attempting this as it will be very costly, leaving a small margin for error. How to you plan to power it?

Posted March 31, 2016 Just a heads up, you are going to need SODIMM ram for them to even fit in the motherboards, and for OEM boards you might have to consult to manual to see what types work.

OR if you have other solutions please let me know. You could use a RPi 3, and it would be easy to make it battery powered, and it has built in wifi, and is super cheap and tiny, and people have turned a RPi into a laptops before there are several guides out there. But it does depend on what performance you want out of the laptop, personnay I would suggest taking laptop parts and custom making a case for them since you can use the proprietary battery to power it. •E5-2670 @2.7GHz • Intel DX79SI • EVGA 970 SSC• GSkill Sniper 8Gb ddr3 • Corsair Spec 02 • Corsair RM750 • HyperX 120Gb SSD • Hitachi 2Tb HDD • Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok. I have sent up flyers all over my neighborhood saying i will take old pc's that you dont want anymore so hopefully ill have a few options for cases. Thanks for the advice.

The laptop, you have to have a battery of some sort and power delivery, certain components run on 5 volts, others on 12, even possibly some on 2v. How do you plan to do that?
