That's exactly what I was thinking. Or an electronic picture/art frame.

I just don't have a need for them here at work or at home. Figured someone else might.

I will add that these systems make excellent status/dashboard machines.  I
have a 2009 version iMac that basically runs chrome full screen with no UI,
and it really works well.
