P.S: And might I ask what did you need the chessboard for?
Prepare to be surprised... Well this lap top is 6 years old... My old faithful, i never change it, lap top. The other at the right it's new with windows 7... and i am not using it!!! Back to the question. Due to it's age the fans are not working too good... and i have removed the battery (for some twisted reason hp placed one "foot" at the battery) this means my lap top is tri-pod... leaving the air vends too close to the desk... Thus i use this little chessboard as lift for the air vends for lower temperature...
I bet you couldn't guess it... But it's real...
P.S. The chessboard have the chess pieces inside
Nice suggestion from Cuorion yesterday at phone, "Buy and a screen (except the external dvd-r driver and Hard disk) and place them all at a suitcase with wheels so your lap top become portable again..."
