This is rather cool. I sometimes think about using a laptop motherboard in a custom built case and pushing the CPU/GPU to their limits (no bueno without that, BIOS must allow full voltage/TPL control). Is it practical? Maybe if you want a very thin/light/quiet desktop that can run a long time on a built-in battery... otherwise, just an interesting project and a way to reuse older laptop boards.
