Fingerprint Scanner Mod?

New postby caolkailash » Sun Aug 30, 2009 5:21 pm

I saw this when I was trying to decide on a Dell Mini or HP Mini: http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/dell-mini-9-hardware-upgrades/9135-fingerprint-scanner-mod.html and I'm wondering if this is possible on a 110-1012? It seems like there might be space under the palm rests, but I haven't cracked open the case (looked briefly at the assembly PDF from HP though). Has anyone tried it/any ideas?

Thanks!

I don't see why it wouldn't be able to work! That would be incredible, are you up for it? Anyone else?! I mean, I am sure it could work and there would definitely be space somewhere in the Mini...

Please let us know what you end up doing/deciding...

Well once my Mini 1010nr comes in I am going to put the 16GB Sabertooth-z, 2GB RAM, and try to put MAC OS on it.

That'd be hella tight but the thing is, trying to be a perfectionist it'd take a while to smooth it out to make it look OEM.
