DIY: Turn an Old Laptop Into a Kitchen Computer

040309_tf_diykitchen1.jpgIf the Luxrite Kitchen TV is just what you needed to keep entertained in the kitchen, but a little more than you wanted to spend, here is a DIY project to make your own under-the-counter media center. Using an old laptop and playing around with software, you can make your own kitchen computer station that takes up no space...

And what better way to install a kitchen computer than re-purposing old tech and putting it in yourself. This project, titled KitcheNET, puts your laptop to work with a little bit of Linux modification and some clothes hangers.
