I am trying to build my own custom job laptop and i don't want to spend a million dollar on an alienware lappy, so i'd like to know where i could get laptop parts... and for cheap... (right now my income is... zilch).

I tried Nvidia for the graphics card and they had some nice cheap ones but... i couldn't find LAPTOP graphics cards... see my delimma!? XP!!
 
It's nearly impossible to build your own laptop, especially for cheap. There really is no way around just paying out your *** for a pre-built.
 
Well look around Ebay you can get many many spareparts for laptops from there you would be shocked as to what you can find.
 
Kool... how cheap do you think they'll go for? like percentage off I mean...

Oh... and how can I tell a laptop mother board from desktop, and hard drives???

I know about Graphics cards like, Nvidia geforce "GO" i an obvious... but what about other things such as sound cards and stuff. whats a good giveaway???
 
Well size and shape have alot to do with it, also just search for laptop spare parts on Ebay. You can get a whole Laptop mother board for as little as £50 and the rest from £10 upwards. What I would do is find some laptop you like the specks of and look around on Ebay.

Also I saw somewhere that there are some some ware that some places do specialise on selling laptop type hardware you just have to look real hard for them, but give mini-itx.com - news a try they sell small form computer parts they might be able to help you.
 
Be sure to let us know how it works out, stay around and make your self known.
