Remote Desktop? Although you probably can't game on it, unless you mean Shockwave-type games.

I've been looking into doing something like this and I think it might be possible so long as you have a dvi interface on your vid card. It seems that newer notebook lcd's use a 20 pin dfp interface. The dfp interface was a forerunner to DVI. There are DVI to DFP adapters in the world. link. But the problem I have is finding a flat ribbon cable to actually connect to my notebook lcd. You see, I only have a lcd panel and not the ribbon cable that is used with it. This may not be a problem for you if you already have the entire notebook.
