There was an old model of 386's, ( good luck finding one! ) that used to 
have a detachable screen.  It was a laptop but the keyboard and screen 
could be moved about 3-4 feet apart.  I think the screen would act as a 
touch pad too...  Anyway, that model would probably be an easy hardware 
hack, your standard model would probably be a bit more problematic.  
E-Bay?
