Laptop teardown

[Keith Smith]

I have an old HP laptop that is just like that.  It over heats under 
stress.  I'm using it for a LAMP server as part of my development 
environment.... Started to pull it apart to see if it was an air flow 
issues and stopped... Replacing it with VirtualBox on my desktop...


Not sure what I will use it for after that.
