Acer Aspire 7720 upgrades!

It's time to break out the old iron and see what I can make out of it.  It needs some work, but it will be worth it to keep this beastly classic running for another number of years. I will be putting in a new keyboard, the current one is shot. Adding 8gb of ram instead of 4, upgrading from the t7300 processor to the t9300 processor. I will also be putting in a 256gb Kingston ssd and removing the old OCZ 120gb drive and keeping the 750gb storage drive. I have already upgraded the Bluetooth card and it works as intended as well.  

 

After it's done, I am going to try Zorin OS on it to see what I can do with it!

If anyone can find the old thread in the NBRChive regarding the full build of the 7720 where the guy swapped in the 1920x1080 screen and black keyboard for it I would love to get the part number for the screen.  I would not begin to figure out which panel to use in the system.  TIA!
