This is a bit after the fact, but I have a laptop at work that runs completely without the battery. The LCD was cracked and made it useless as a laptop, but it now has a happy place as a desktop replacement (without the battery as the battery was put in a functioning laptop with a bad battery).
Hopefully when the battery on my work laptop dies I will be able to get a shiny new laptop and let my trusty laptop live out it's days as a desktop replacement with a monitor, keyboard and mouse attached.
