|Lego my Mac. The Lego Mac I had been seeing these "digital picture frames" around for a while now. In case you do not know, a digital picture frame is a picture frame with a LCD screen, a modem, and some flash memory that yuppies use to display pictures. Most of them cost somewhere above 500 dollars plus you have to pay for a monthly service to be able to download pictures into it. I figured I could do better. The parts: two busted Powerbook Duos I bought at Hamvention for 20 bucks apeice and about two hundred assorted lego elements to build the case. Yes there is a fully functioning Mac in there. The lego mac's core is made out of a PowerBook Duo 230 that itself was built out of the carcasses of a Duo 230 and a Duo 210. I removed the upper clamshell and reinstalled it with the screen facing out, away from the user. I then removed all of the nonessential parts, the battery, trackball,etc leaving only the motherboard and hard drive.I also added a modem card I hawked from yet another busted Powerbook Duo The enclosure is made out of about 200 lego elements that I scrounged from the hundreds of lego sets I got as a kid.I added hinged doors to the top of the enclosure to allow access to the power,modem,data,and serial connectors that could be closed when not in use to maintain the lego-ey appearance. My only major concern in its functionality is the fact that I had to mount the hard drive vertically to make it fit in the enclosure and I am not sure how that is affecting the drive. Of course the 16 grey passive matrix screen can not compete with the screen on a real digital picture frame but this thing cost me less than 50 dollars to build and unlike a real digital picture frame, does not require buying a subscription service to use. Since it contains the core functonality of a mac, it can be hooked up to a printer or a home network and the hard drive has enough room to hold hundreds of images. Maybe someday I will find a dead powerbook 500 somewhere and I can give it a screen upgrade.
