    Basically ive bought everything from a dell vostro 1700 and im going to turn my silver inspiron 1720 into basically a black vostro 1700


    never really taken a laptop fully apart before

    done loads of pc's


    should be a new experience

    when i got cash i hope to get an x9000 or t9300 depends if i have money for x9000

    and maybe 6gb of ram but money again is an issue


    ive this laptop since i was 17 i think so yeh 3 Years and it served me damn well tbh


    ill post some pics of it after im done



    and yes i like all my stuff to be black, my xbox... my pc, my phone... my car when i get one...

    Congrats... With the required specifications, this baby can be pushed to the max. Hope to see updates about it.

    The complete tear down manual can be found on Dell's website.

    That's alot of hassle as I have stripped apart my Vostro 1500 which is pretty much the same thing as a 1700. You have to remove the motherboard which is pretty extreme I would say. Why not just go to your local hardware store and buy a can of spray paint? :confused:

    Or if you plan on doing this crazy mod you might as well do all the modifications at once, and before you put everything back together make sure it posts. ;)
