Pentium II, sans fan. Boot from CD, run linux from thumbdrive.
Pointless, and mildly entertaining.

Yeah I can see that hahahaha! I think he needs the helmet.

As others have already said, it's not very difficult to put a new drive in the laptop.   Who would want to carry an external drive around to boot their laptop? 

Just google around for your model of laptop, there's bound to be some walkthru's on HD upgrade/replacement.

I dont know if this guy needs a raise or if he needs a helmet...

I used thumbtacks, paper clips, and rubber bands:





Unfortunately the PII just wasn't quite fast enough to run YouTube.. Sadly the Walltop V2.0 wasn't as thrilling to look at:

It also made more noise since you can't run a P4 on a stock cooler without a fan on it.

The guy in the red shirt needed a computer to use, and that's what I had on hand (:

As I said.. just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you should.
