Do you think I could throw a 165c board in and swap the screen? Or is that asking too much.... with the 1400/usb thing, I've talked to my friend about getting a couple more. When they show I'll send one your way... with the 540/520 do you need a mobo or processor? I have an orginal 520c mobo and processor I could just send ya if you have a need for it..
