After listening to my wife tell how hard it is to keep track of recipes I decided to build a under the counter PC as a Kitchen PC. But I put some restrictions on the build.


-Keep Build cost to minimum
-Use Parts from around house when possible
-Keep Counters clear of Clutter

Wireless Is Best!

If you don't mind the batteries then use a Wireless Keyboard and mouse to connect to your computer. Wireless internet adapters are also great! 

Connect It All Together.

I suggest testing it all before drilling the holes for the cables. The computer was set ontop but I sill need to run the cables. This LCD mount can be adjusted to turn any direction.
