I plan on removing the top bit and binning it but i have been told that taking the cable for the display out gives some laptops serious not happy issues.


From the little resarch I was able to do when I was seriously contemplating building a revolutionary new in-car computer to play MP3 files (Than God Hugo came along when he did and saved me from such utter madness!!) I think you will have considerable difficulty with this.

It is no trivial task mating a laptop computer to any display other than the one the manufacturer equipped it with, unless you actually have a video-out port on the computer itself. (I don't even know if any laptops actually have that...)
