Thin client to browse through my TV

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to build or buy some sort of thin-client box that will run a web browser and media player through my home theater. I'm running Jinzora on one of my PCs and I would like to be able to access it to play music in my living room.

The requirements:

1. support TV-out as it's only video
2. be able to launch to a web browser when it boots
3. be able to play MP3's and MP3 playlists (so it's gotta have at least a decent audio out or digital audio out)
4. ability to get onto a wifi network
5. it's gotta be silent
6. Cost $100 or less, somewhere, somehow

I know that there are a bunch of wifi media recievers coming out right now, but that's not what I'm looking for. I checked into buying a used WebTV on ebay, but they require a subscription to MSN and a phone line to work. It seems like something like this is what I'm looking for.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,
a2k
