Input device: Logitech diNovo Mini Keyboard
If you plan to use your PC with your home entertainment system, a Media Center remote is a must. You'll want something that controls mouse movement and can input key commands. I like to have a full-on wireless keyboard and gyroscopic mouse nearby for extensive input. But you can get home-theater-designed devices that fill all of these roles. With a universal approach in mind, I picked the Logitech diNovo Mini Keyboard. This Bluetooth remote handles mousing with its trackpad, and its thumb-friendly keypad works well for entering URLs.
Input price: $145
Total system price (without display): $2115
