I made one at work out of an old 386-20Mhz laptop with a 20MB HD. I just took the screen hinge apart, folded the screen back onto the back of the laptop, sort of like a tablet pc. Then installed a DOS based slideshow program (it's really too crappy to run anything beyond windows 3.1, so this works well). I sit it in the corner of my bookshelf and it's always on, cycling through about 100 pics.
I constantly get compliments on it and most people think I bought it somewhere. Best $0.00 I ever spent :)
