I know of options for that sort of thing (look for "digital signage") but the pricing is not in the same ballpark as a digital photo frame. (In Japan at least, it is sufficiently expensive that I think going the Panic way is probably cheaper if you plan on providing your own programming.)

Yeah, everything I've found thus far it'd make sense to just get a Fit PC and a small LCD - it'd be nice if there was a small frame like this that was hackable (a la the WRT54g) for a small status display.

If you really ever want to get into the digital signage options in Japan, I can bore your brain you with companies with cheap computers/monitors/etc.

But no, you'll never get anything as cheap as these buffalo monitors.
