How can I stick a laptop LCD in my desktop case?
You need (at minimum) a controller. Laptop LCDs do not interface directly to VGA or DVI. You may also need an inverter for the backlight.

Where can I get a controller for a laptop LCD?
EarthLCD has them. Expect to pay a couple hundred for it. You can also buy complete kits there.

here is a list of controllers compiled from the eio.com forums

Can this actually be done? It sounds very difficult!
Yes. It's been done, by tiberius. (no link currently available)

there is also a nice guide/info here
