Old-school Notebook from Dead Motherboard

If you've ever disassembled a PC, you know how sharp and dangerous board components can be. Volunteering at Free Geek in Portland, I once had quite a bloody incident while pulling apart an old tower.

So, when I saw this notebook made from old motherboards, the first thing my mind's eye saw was that huge cut on my hand. I like the idea, though. Why not try one with all the components facing inward (the undersides are cool looking too)? In any case, there's something very appealing about the potential for dead technologies (say, a notebook PC) being transformed back into the old-school form factors that originally inspired them (paper binders in this case).
