When I was cleaning out my closet on Saturday, I came across an old laptop that I stopped using 2 years ago. It's a 300mhz Toshiba Tecra 8000. It still worked but was too slow for me to use. So I got this great idea to tear it apart. Of course my idea went a little farther than that. I was going to rip it up and make it into a digital picture frame for my desk.

So I took it all apart and removed the motherboard from the case. Then I removed the LCD from the plastic housing. I got it booting up at that point so that made me quite happy and gave me hope. Heather and I went to Aaron Brothers to look for picture frames and I found the most perfect picture frame for what I was planning on doing. Unfortunately I can't find a link to what it looked like before, but you'll see in the final pictures. Anyways, after trying to assemble it, I got it to boot up, but with many memory errors. Come to find out, memory doesn't like to be in contact with styrofoam. So I raised it up a little bit and it worked great. After I got back to my apartment, I found out that I didn't reattach the CMOS battery, so it's quite a pain in the ass to start it with the box together. As of now, I just have one picture of the final product, but tommorrow (probably), I'll have more pictures of the inside.

EDIT: yes, that's Heather's dog Bear. She likes to lick the carpet :)
