Tried to do a similar thing with an old thinkpad (x250) a few months ago, basically just removing the screen so you have a computer, keyboard and trackpoint/trackpad in one. Turns out it wasn't just as easy as removing the screen, and I after a lot of messing around I only just managed to get it to boot, though the display ports didn't work and it kept beeping out error codes.
