-no money to spend on software
I want to make my desk top into a media center. I have lots of mp3 and moves on my server and want to use a remote or touchscreen to control it. I wnat to use something like media center but I do not want to buy a whole new system any Ideas that you have are welcome, and the cheaper they are the better. If I put anymore money into it, it will have to take out a new loan....lol... Thank you

I guess I'm a little confused. Doesn't the hardware (i.e. ATi All-in-Wonder, etc.) provide their own proprietary software? Are you looking for an all-in-one solution? What about one of those computer remote controls?

that was the toy I was going to buy. I did not know if there was a better remote out there. I wanted to get some mean software to run it. Most of the remotes I have used just work half of the time. I need something that will use the network to the fullest extent... Thank you.
