Powerbook G4 Detached Screen

A friend of mine has all but destroyed his 17" Powerbook. It's held together with duct tape and the screen is all but completely detached. From what I can gather, though, is the internals are fine. Is there a way I can take the internals and put them in a blank, I don't know what the word would even be...case? Would this just be too involved to bother? I am all too well versed in taking parts from PC's and combining them, but this is my first real entry into both laptops and Macs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
