Hey everyone!

A couple of months ago I did my first PC build and now my sister says she wants one but there's a problem. She wants a laptop.

So I have a question - where would I get the outside part of the laptop?

Sorry if this is a stupid question!

Thanks

laptop cases are usually not sold. You might get one from ebay though.
problem with laptops, compared to desktops is that they are all kind of unique.
Certain laptop can only have certain motherboard/case/GPU/display due to brand exclusive contacts and layout.

That said, building laptop yourself is pretty much "no way, don't do it" situation and replacing the case for laptop is pretty much done to fix a broken one, not to build one from scratch.
