You'd have to replace the bottom half of the computer - i.e., mainboard and chassis plastics. You can reuse your keyboard but you'll also need a new hard drive (the M170 uses the older EIDE type; the M1710, the newer SATA). The optical drives will interchange.
Thanks! I tried it and it's all right, I've been stuck on it long.
