/diy/ - Do It Yourself

so hear me out. I recently got a new laptop after my girlfriend upgraded hers and had no further use for it. This means my old laptop, which has an overheating problem, is no longer needed. I want to cannibalize it, since I could use the extra hard drive, but it also has a pretty nice, pretty functional touch screen which I would be remiss to throw away. Is it possible to do some afro-engineering and perhaps use it as a second screen for my new laptop? I have a 3d printer so I could probably make a mount for it to stand upright properly. I'm thinking I can maybe splice the connection to an HDMI plug or something, but I'm not sure how it would work. Has anyone done something similar?
