Is it possible to DIY to use a full fledged PC tower with this screen? The display would be extremely useful for digital painting and 3d sculpting beyond the life of the computer hardware.

Where can just the mainboard be found? Did some searches on amazon and ebay to no avail. Is there a part number to the i7, 16GB 1TB version that can be looked up?
