Hi everybody! So I'm kind of confused about which connectors to use on my laptop for attaching an egpu to it. The laptop is a dell n7110 (second gen Sandy Bridge i7 intel hd 3000 no discrete 1 tb hdd), which i know hass a top sided motherboard but lucky for me i have a bit of dremel experience and am going to cut a small hole at the top to fit the hdmi data cable through. (Yeah i know the laptop can no longer close, but the thing is a massive 17'' notebook with no gpu or anything so pretty much is a desktop(at least for my purposes)) The only problem though is that I seem to have two mpcie connectors on my board, one of which is empty and labeled WLAN and WIMAX. Now I want to put an adapter for the PCIE lane in the slot that looks like an empty mpcie (as shown in photo), but I'm not sure whether I can use that connector so I won't have to use the connector with the wifi card. Here are the list parts I'm planning on buying: EXP GDC Beast Laptop External Independent Video Card Dock EXP GDC Beast Laptop External Independent Video Card Dock - US$49.99 GTX 750/TI (Don't know which one I'll decide later) Laptop PSU 120 Watt (Should be enough for 750 ti right ) If i cannot use the wifi card, I already have a usb wifi card so I should be fine. Thank You!!! ALSO pardon the dusty laptop photos *cough* just took this thing out for the first time in over a year. I've just cleaned it.
