    I know it is probably a frequently asked question, but where would I be able to find a laptop with just...
    LCD
    Battery
    Motherboard
    Keyboard

    ...Basically everything EXCEPT...
    Harddrive
    Memory
    Processor
    Optical drive

    Is there a website or does anyone know of someone that sells laptops like this? Thanks.

    Those mentioned above are for ASUS and others.

    You may need to be more specific, MSI, ASUS, Sager, etc.
