I have a MBA from 2008 with a 1.6GHz C2D. Courtesy of a delightful eBay buyer, it is no longer in a usable condition, having suffered damage from having had something dropped on it. The case is bent and bulging, the trackpad won't respond to any kind of click (even 'tap to click'), but other than that it appears to work OK.
I was going to just sell it on for spares and repair, but then I wondered about salvaging the bits from it, putting them in a new case and creating a new computer. With an SSD and, say, 4GB RAM it shouldn't run too bad, right?
Realistically, is this feasible? If it is, is it actually worth doing it?
Cheers!
