Perfect G3 Lombard Powerbook - should I mod to picture frame or not?

I thought the same thing so I used heat safe electric tape on the back sides just to be safe.

1. Find old inexpensive laptop on ebay

2. tear apart

3. make picture frame.

Got my first 3 steps on my to do list now! Now to find the old laptop!!! :-D

I think i need to design a really sweet designerly frame though... perhaps I can combine this into something neat for my portfolio....

this is SWEEEEET

ps. are those wood slats the velcro is on? aren't you a little worried with the wood next to the computer parts? heat wise? I guess it wouldn't get too hot just slideshowing....

I wouldn't worry too much. The primary combustion temperature of wood is above 450 F. Can't image that any component of a laptop would get that hot!

I took the leap and couldn't be more pleased!

That's really gorgeous, but I personally believe the Lombard is still a very usable machine. Now, making one of these out of an old Powerbook Duo... hmm!
