Today I'm gonna show you my latest project: a very slim 17" apple display.
I used to have a Macbook pro 17" 2011 but it broke down due to the well-known problem of the GPU, if you want to read more about the death of my macbook pro, see here:

But today the led display of my old macbook has come to life again: I have disassembled it, bought a controller board for the panel (waited for the shipping from China) and I have created a external monitor fully working with a small stand made out of wood and a plexiglass case for the boards.
The board is powered by a 12V adaptor, but i'm gonna buy a 12V lithium rechargeable battery to use it without an external power supply.
There is also the webcam that i should be able to transform in a usb webcam only attaching a USB connector to the cable that come out of the display, i have seen the pinout of that.
What to you think?
What do you suggest in order to make my monitor looks like more apple-style?
