I disassembled the old Compaq Armada E500 using a PDF service manual I found on HP's website. I removed the keyboard, touchpad, NIC card (though I will probably put that back in in my final product), the CMOS battery (which I will probably put back in my final product), the wiring harness that went to the Multibay to support a second or third battery, as well as the parallel port and PS/2 port.
So what's left? The motherboard, the voltage regulator board (on bottom, not seen in picture), the hard drive (also on bottom, not pictured, and may be replaced with a CF card at a later date), RAM, and the PCMCIA slots, in which I will install a cheapo wireless card.
