So, I had an oldish laptop that I got from someone for free. It was suffering from some overheating problems (which were fixed with a quick dose of MX-4) and the battery also didn't hold charge.
I pulled it apart in an attempt to fix up the overheating, but whilst re-assembling it, I broke the power button.
I took it out of the case, propped the screen up to my window, and used it to bridge the wi-fi over to my desktop. It sat there for several months.
So, this is what I ended up doing with it:
The ingredients:
Lots of hot glue
2x bottle cap
1x piece of misc plastic
An old Samsung monitor stand
Total cost: $3

) last time I turned it on, but it's probably only good for basic, basic usage.
and BINGO! 
I had a working laptop. Unlike other "rejects" at my work, this lappy was in as-good condition as my own, personal model..... which is to say that it was very, very clean.
