I done a mobo swap on a Compaq Evo (N610c chassis, N620c mobo, pentium m 1.4, whoo!) but never done it on a TB, is this possible?

I know between Mk1 and Mk2 yes, but they did some swaps and updates to the chassis on the Mk3 so I am not sure. Also the screen is set up for LED on the Mk3 from the factory.

tl;dr: it's cheaper in the long term to get a Mk3 with missing parts and then put the stuff over from a Mk2?

I will be home Monday from work, If I get a chance (if not remind me) and I will take a few side by side pictures and show the differences.
