DIY Digital Picture Frame: Toshiba Laptop Conversion

Written on Jun 22, 2008 by Brian and filed under News

If you’re anything like me, you often struggle to find a home for used and nearly obsolete tech products. While I won’t be converting any of my old laptops to digital frames, lack of technical skill and patience prevent such a project, the team over at Inside My Laptop has done the dirty work.

They took an old Toshiba 14″ notebook, a $20 wooden frame and presto, a lovely wall hanging ensued. Using Windows XP and the basic screen saver settings, and a lot of duct tape, the end result is actually pretty nice looking. Sure it probably took a few days, is hell on your power bill and costs more than buying one off the shelf, but all-in-all, not a bad use for an otherwise out-dated laptop.
