The forums over at www.vendoramusements.com has a thread under the Countertop Games section that is talking about a guy that has done it in a Merit Megatouch game cabinet. It's the thread titled, "Merit Radeon Conversion To Flatscreen LCD" and it has step-by-step pictures! Be sure to check it out.

It might be best to mount a DESKTOP LCD Screen, because most Laptop screens use properitery interfaces, and many require a digital input, as as opposed to VGA, RGB, etc.
