Tablet PC as Desktop Input and Secondary monitor?

Ahah. Aright... I know this is gonna be a pretty ridiculous question, but I can get my hands on a pretty cheap Tablet PC. I do graphic design and this Tablet would be perfect. Problem is... it's gonna be outta date in about a year. So, in attempt to milk my investment completely dry, I wonder...

...Is it possible to remove and/or rewire the Tablet PC screen in a way that I can hook it up to my Desktop PC?

I know some of you might think, "why the hell don't you just buy a tablet from Wacom? Ya crazy bastid." Well, that's a pretty solid idea except... their tablets at 12" cost $500 without a screen. This tablet PC costs $500, with a screen. And the Wacom Screen+Tablet... is $3000. That's worth more than my car! (Sad but true.)

Sounds pretty desperate, I know. But I'm a starving artist who happens to have a little extra spending cash(aka: I got a job). I'm completely willing to turn this into a project n' get my hands dirty.

If you guys have any ideas it'd be awesome to here em'.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Check out the software on Tablet PC Post for sharing keyboards, etc. There is a solution for you to extend the investment.

Yep, Bartels Media MaxiVista does that. ShareKMC allows you to share the keyboard, mouse, etc.
