So yeah, as you may have seen, I've made two "digital photo frames" out of two old laptops. They work fine and all, but I don't know where to place them!

Here are pics of my room, find a good spot.

From the door:

From the window:

I can't drill in the walls, except from the window wall. They've already been beside the TV, it didn't look really good.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

The window wall is made out of wood, the others are concrete.

I have a lot of need for them. Two of them I regularly use for testing stuff, four have chassis waiting for them if I get some stuff to sell, and two are just plain reserves/spare-parts.

Normal people have storage spaces and garages to hold junk and spare parts, they don't display them as ornaments

Then buy me a garage here, would you?

I thought you cleaned your room a while ago why fill it up with all kinds of spare parts and stuff like that then!

I have barely added anything since. Those have always been there. And these laptops are certainly not garbage. Companies charge $100 for a 7" digital photo frame. I have two 15.4" ones for free.

I'm not sure whether it's really concrete or just bricks or drywall.
Either way, the right drill bit or screw anchor should do the deal. And it would probably cost you 5 - 10$ to get those.
Having the frames in the place they look best would be well worth that money I think.
