xclusiv8 35 Posted May 30, 2011 I have my old laptop sitting in pieces right next to me. Ive been thinking of building something useful with it but it seems like i am having a major brain meltdown. I just cant think of anything, well that is not entirely true. Ive thought of turning it into a 15.6 inch digital photo frame. You know like those tiny ones you can buy for like 10 billions of dollars only this one would cost me around 20 bucks. But that is where it stop. Cant think of anything else so i turn you guys. Any crazy ideas? What could an old laptop be used for. The performance of the laptop is pretty good and 720p playback of videos is not a problem. Thank you for your help.
