System Specs:
4 year old Gateway laptop not worth mentioning.
Performed Mods:
Took out the lcd and mounted it inside a tv case. Extended the power button so that the tv's button works to power on the laptop.
I didn't take this thing anywhere so I decided to put it in this tv, so that it takes up less space on my desk.

I was talking about the actual desk space it takes up. When the laptop is open normally, it took up as much space as the monitor laying flat. This way it only takes up about 4 inches by 15 inches.
