So, I have an old laptop that's not working any more. I suspect it's the hard drive that's playing up, but the hardware was already out of date enough that it was a sluggish beast anyhow. And the battery's pretty much useless now, too.
I'd considered putting a new hard drive in it, and installing one brand or another of Linux on it, or possibly sidestepping the hard drive altogether and running Chromium OS from an SD card.
But I don't really have a particular use for a non-portable laptop even if I did these things. I've got more computers than I can use already.
Neither do I want to throw it away, because that's just not cricket either. All that lovely hardware must have other uses, right?
So I was thinking you guys might have some devilishly cunning projects, hacks, or alternative uses for the laptop, or some combination of its parts.
Hit me!
