Build your Own Digital Picture Frame

Not sure what to give someone for Christmas? Like to tinker and take pictures? Popular Science recently posted step by step instructions on how to build your own digital picture frame out of an old laptop. The coolest part about the picture frame? It automatically syncs up with your Flickr account through a wi-fi connection, so the pictures are always current.

Supplies Needed:

Old Laptop

Frame

Wireless Card

Slickr Software (free)

The process involves taking apart the laptop to isolate the screen and rearranging (using hot glue!) the rest of the computer components to fit inside the frame. The end result is pretty impressive.
