Digital Picture Frame How-to Building Guide
Digital picture frames are a really popular gift project here on Instructables, and lots of people are searching for digital picture frame how-to's. So, here's a guide to some of the best digital picture frames we have:
Cheap 'n Easy Digital Picture Frame
Total cost was under $100, and could be substantially less if you're savvy.

Digital Picture Frame Numero Dos!
I made this as a wedding present for a very good friend of mine, and I think it turned out very well. Granted the cost of digital picture frames have come down significantly in the past year alone, but that wouldn't be handmade, customized, or particularly interesting to read on Instructables.com, now would it?

Hanging Laptop Digital Painting
Take your old laptop, matte it, frame it, and convert it into a hanging framed digital lcd screen to do with as you like.

YET! Another Digital Picture Frame
All Picture frames i have seen are nice, but I wanted something else: A really nice frame (custom made and that's ain't cheap), a nice size (14.1") and with some "extras" (wi-fi, bluetooth, etc). This is a brief description how to disassemble a notebook and assemble a nice digital frame.

DIY Digital Picture Frame (the easy-lazy way)
Inspired by the "12 dollar digital picture frame" on makezine.com, I bough the Jukebox from Ebay and the connectivity kit from K-Mart. At a garage sale, I found just the type of frame I needed: one that would fit the Jukebox and the SD card INSIDE it.

So its usually cheaper to either purchase a new LCD or use the laptop as a the photo frame using some of the instructables on this site.
