DIY: kitchen PC from EEE netbook

23/10/2009 12:30Entertainment AreaMichael Stepanov3 comments

Good example of using used EEE netbook is demonstrated by German folk sidekickx81. He created a media PC for his kitchen. It allows to him watch DVB-T TV, video from online services or network shares, listen music, check receipts or weather forecast. In standby mode it can be used as digital photo frame.

The kitchen PC is controlled by touchscreen added with USB touchscreen set because original EEE doesn’t have that feature. It’s connected to LAN via WiFi. So, no additional wiring is needed. Moreover, thanks to netbook battery it can work a few hours after power cutting.

Nice idea, implementation and … music in video clip :)

      An interesting idea.
      However, why do to the kitchen?
      It wants it in the bedroom.

    It depends of you ;) IMHO the compact and silent HTPC with 32″ LCD TV will be more suitable :)
