  1. Hey guys, I've been reading alot here about using an eGPU for my laptop, but everything is not really clear to me yet as I'm a total nub in hardware modification. I would really appreciate a recap of all the steps I need to do in order to install a eGPU properly, and if it will be compatible. My laptop stats are: HP dv5 laptop very similar to this HP Pavilion dv5-1160us NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 (2.00GHz) 4GB Memory 320GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GS 15.4" Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit - Newegg.com Except it have the intel mobile 4 series graphic instead of the geforce. Intel Core 2 duo, 4gb ram, Vista 64 home. I can see it has a express slot on the side, but i've been confused about this, is it best to plug the eGPU under the laptop where the wifi is, or use the express card ? Is this card dock good ? EXP GDC Beast Laptop External Independent Video Card Dock - US$49.99 Here is the hardware i'm planning to have, but i'm still not sure if it would all be compatible. Notice I'm getting a pretty good video card, will my laptop specs support it or will it limit its power ? If it would only limit it I will probably get it anyway, in case I want to build a desktop in the future, I'll have a good graphic card at hand. GPU: ASUS GTX750TI-OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready Video Card - Newegg.ca Power: Thermaltake TR2 600W Cable Management ATX12V V2.3 24PIN Power Supply With 120MM Fan - DirectCanada Case: Rosewill LINE-M Micro-ATX Mini Tower Computer Case, Dual USB 3.0, come with Dual Fans, Support up to 4 Fans, 12.5" card - Newegg.ca For the case, i'm thinking about getting this one and mod it to be able to hold the GPU in place even if there is no motherboard. Good idea ? Also, do I need to buy an external monitor or is there a way to plug the GPU to my current laptop monitor ? Thank you for the help guys
