Looking for a IR/RF Receiver for my computer

So my server has been recently upgraded --- pretty much running everything in my old computer... in which I used to plug into my tv to watch movies/tv/etc via my computer. Now its all hooked up to my server, and I'd rather not go over there every time to start up a video (I usually remote desktop to the server to do anything, but i cant control the actual screen controls -- ie, to mirror the video to the TV output.)

I see lots of MCE remotes that say they dont work on anything but Win MCE... is that true? Seems like it should work on anything.... unless they just dont package the drivers for anything but MCE with the receiver.

Soooooo I'm looking to get either just a reciever or a remote and receiver so I can control the computer thru that. I saw something from ATI on newegg after a quick search, but for $27.50.. seems a bit much. The remote is really unnecessary since any remote will techincally work with the correct configuration. So back to the original question... any good sites that have some to choose from? Thanks!

Thanks I was looking around there a bit already. Still even trying to figure out if a MCE remote can work on non-MCE WinXP....
