- It’s cheap, only need an old unused laptop and cheap frame
- Digital picture frame with online syncing
- Dedicated video game emulator with wireless controller (NES, SNES, Genesis, Playstation)
- Control music, watch movies, watch TV
- Security web cam or video conferencing
- Looks cool, good conversation piece

The materials aren’t really that complex either. For the most part, you just need a USB wireless adapter to pick up the XBOX 360 controller and some other optional parts such as a TV tuner should you want to use it as a TV.
