Seen them and a great idea. Downside?
300 bucks for a picture frame that could walk off my desk, so I didn't buy it. But it is on the list for some non-PC based window display (store displays.)
In direct answer to your question, an old laptop has been cheaper if you can find an old 286/386/486. It's my current solution.

Has anyone tried out any digital frames other than Cieva? I am looking for for a gift, preloaded with family photos in slideshow mode ?

Vialta has a 6.8" TFT frame, and they are giving one away for free this month:
