For the keyboard I sawed the tops of the original keys with ironsaw, smoothed them a bit and glued to the new keyboard to get original colouring to the keys. Can say it took a while to do but glad I did it. Used a lots and lots of hot glue and the machine is filled with wire: from the usb keyboarde, ridiculously long wire on the usb touchpad, from the JBL Cube loudspeaker. There were 2 usb spot on the mother board free and I connected to them two pieces of usb hubs with four places. The keyboard, touchpad, loudspeaker, dvd player and the screen all take power through usb. So no rocket science used on this machine. Just had to think a lot how to and then figure out how to fit all inside.
