I am beginning to build a custom case project laptop. It will be a rugged laptop casing. I decided if i am going to build this thing, i might as well build it with pretty good gaming potential. What i need help with is finding an older notebook with a dedicated GPU. Since laptops with dedicated GPUs started becoming frequent only recently it is harder to find some older ones. Personally i had a notebook with an x700 128 mb gpu and it was great. Laptops with dedicated GPUs today are very expensive and have at least x1k or a gf6 series. Can anyone help me find a laptop to look for with like an x100+ video or a dedicated card up to 128 mb. It is hard to find one since they don't sell them any more, i do not what to look for.

Are you building the case, or the laptop? I'm just having a little trouble understanding. If you're building a case, make sure people have changed the laptop's case on that setup before. Laptops are known to be very difficult if not impossible to modify.

I am building a case. It is hard to build a case for a laptop i realize that. But i am up for the challenge. I doubt there are many laptop case mods out there so i do not care if the model laptop was modded before, i am starting almost from scratch. For a start i need a motherboard preferably with a dedicated video card. Later i will buy more parts (probobly off ebay) Obviously i will need to research if they are compatible. I have fixed laptops before and even added custom parts like DC power jacks. (i think i have done better job on these than they were originally made. The purpose of this project is to build myself a decent laptop that will last a long time.
