Alienware 18 (2014) eDP mod possible?

[Derpmaster69]

Guys I'm new here. Is it possible to make an 18 inch edp screen run on the Alienware 18 (2014)? I've seen a LVDS to eDP converter board on Aliexpress. If this is possible in any way, will it be possible to run 2 GTX 1070's in SLI in the AW18?

There was a daring member of NBR who was gathering the materials to try this but IIRC it was not successful. @DaMafiaGamer

 

Here are some links to old conversations from the NBRchive.
