Apple TV for $99.

If you have an old PC laying around you could build a MYTH TV box or make a Boxee.
Yeah, I have the power settings adjusted so that it runs closed. It just has to be opened to launch.

My wife and I looked at Apple TV last night. We already have a ROKU, but want general web access, too.

I do have an old PC sitting here. P4 I think. Unfortunately there's no HDMI output. Guess I could use the VGA input on the TV. All I'd need is a wireless card and to see if it would fit in the cubby hole behind the TV.
