yes daniel

does it work? has someone tried with either of those methods? is that your sys in the pic? pc right? by the looks of it the only alloy-based hinges i can think of right now is think lenovo. is it running os x? or bsd? one of the converters used, is just a plastic mold, not a converter per se, but for petes sake lets call it a converter.

did you try w/ an usb ext.? - say, let the blue cube setup as in the second pic, and plug the other end of the usb cable ext. into the computer, since blue cubes take up space, but do not break as easily as the belkin.

Alloy hinges? :P It's just some cheap plastic notebook that was pretty enough for the photos. It runs XP, but apparently it crashes — I just took it off someone's hands because it was cute. Never got around to figuring out what was wrong with it.

Someone originally posted a photo of their Mac notebook with their Noppoo hooked up via the converters, and the photo has since been lost, so I recreated it. I have good reason to believe that it works, but I've never tested it personally.

This is the original Geekhack topic about this workaround:
