there’s gotta be a way to get 12 V off the board somehow
If you remove the battery (to avoid swelling), you’ll have a vacant port. But connecting that in any way that won’t fry your drives is another question I haven’t solved…

Very cool looking project. I’ve been stripping motherboards from my busted old laptops recently, and am setting one up as a HiFi-ish HDD player at the moment. Next step would be some sort of NAS/homelab.
Since you’re already 3D printing parts, is there any reason you didn’t just pull the mobo, connect the drives and made a neat headless case for it all? Not that I don’t appreciate that weird lapdozer you made! 😂
Fair, I thought that might be your reasoning 🙂 Either way, I’ve added a few of your purchases to my own wish list for future projects. Thanks for the inspo!
