Using old Laptop as touch-screen monitor?

[Che Roriniho]

Anyone there? At all?

Rest assured that if anyone has a reply, you will not need to "up" your thread like that.

I saw this, but I have never heard of touch screen upgrade kits and I'm not some elektromechanical engineer superhero who would dare open his monitor so I have absolutely no idea.

I have heard of doing it, but only with stuff from the maker anyway, so im guessing not possible?

It's a piece of wizz. You get these kits from ebay, you open the screen up, pop it in, and connect it up. That's the easy bit. The bit I don't know is wether I can use the laptop as a screen for a second computer, or, even better, if I can use the keyboard and touch pad as keyboard/mouse for it.

EDIT: The touchscreen will be fitted like it was with the eeePC: here, and here.
