What CPU do you have now? That's going to be the limiting factor

Best option would be to snipe a gutted laptop MOBO off ebay that still functions and supports a GPU. If you're trying to build a laptop out of a a consumer ITX board it's going to turn into a lap-briefcase. I briefly entertained the idea a while back, but it just isn't feasible on consumer grade parts -sans scavenged laptop parts.

 

If you really want to take the plunge here are some sub $100 ITX options:

1) 99.999% of laptop motherboards do not have swappable CPU/GPU

 

2) ones that do are extremely expensive, unless youre talking about something like 10 years old or whatever

 

3) a mitx motherboard will be cheaper than a (decent) laptop motherboard
