Palm rest and track pad removal

I went and purchased a Dremel 7700 MultiPro (about $40, my first expense) so that I could cut the palm rest out of the netbook casing and sand out the edges. It only took about 20 minutes. Here is the result:

I also bought an 'ultra thin/slim' 10.1" LED LCD screen. Hopefully it arrives this week so I can work on the fit this weekend. I plan to order the touch kit once the screen is in place and measured. The SD card reader should support the LCD's bottom right corner. I'll need to figure out something else to support the other side. I plan on sanding the outside of the casing even more and eventually painting it, but not until later.

I probably wont do much until the screen gets here. I was able to mount the web cam and microphone at the bottom of the inside casing, so that they are usable through the old holes that the mouse buttons were in. I'll put some sort of lens over the camera and I'll protect the mic somehow too. Below you can see how everything fits so far.
