Digital picture frames are worthless. Seriously, trust me. However this Eee PC packs much more into the same form factor, which is a huge improvement over the standard Wal-Mart model. Just think: full Internet access, Wi-Fi, a good screen, the Eee PC is perfect for this type of mundane task.

There isn’t anything special about this hack as the Eee PC is basically stripped of the keyboard and plastic bezel and mounted on a basic wooden frame. Really anyone with basic technical skills should be able to replicate this near tablet conversion. Add a touchscreen and this would be a perfect mod; and close competitor of the upcoming CrunchPad.
