Can anyone give me any clues/thoughts on this...
I'm sure if I keep looking long enough or just try to figure it out on my own, I'll get it sorted, but thought I'd at least get some discussion started. As it stands, I could never get around to digging enough with my time constraints for quite some time - so hopefully I can get some thoughts from you guys.
I've got a Toshiba Laptop that is busted, and I frankly don't have the time and don't want to spend the necessary cash to bring it back to life. It was pretty much "terminated" to where the casing is broken, LCD is broken, hard drive broken, DVDRW broken... The RAM was spared, and really the CPU and motherboard best I can tell.
So, 1. How difficult would it be to mount it in a micro/minit ITX setup?
2. Or are there any specific desktop chipsets that will handle the T5500 mobile CPU?
I just got curious on that, when I saw a barebones for a mini case with an Intel chipset supporting Core 2 Duo... but I'm thinking the mobile CPUs are still diff than desktop in compatibility. At least I believe they were in the past, and would expect the same for current... somewhat current..
Thanks for any thoughts/references/discussion on the matter at all.
