Introduction: The Painting of 1,000 Paintings (OR MORE!)
So you put up a new painting in the living room, and it looks beautiful. It stays for a few weeks, and you get bored with it and want a new one. But after the first, you're broke! Well, this thing is as many paintings as you wish all at once, and it's not a collage or mosaic. Nay, it's a SLIDESHOW!

Step 2: Get Your Paintings
Find all of your paintings that you wish to put up and save them to a folder.
Step 3: Some Quick Adjustments
Adjust your photos using Picasa to match your screen size (mine was 1024x1068)
Step 4: Make a Space in the Wall
If your wall is like mine, you have many hollow spaces. Use a stud finder to find a hollow space in the wall, and drill about 3 feet from the floor below where you would like to hang the paintings.
Step 5: Place CPU and Feed Wire
Well, the title says it all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~IMPORTANT!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Feed the wire DOWN!!!!!!!!! Then reach in with an Allen wrench and take the end out.
MAKE SURE THE OTHER END IS STILL OUT!!!!!!!!
