By the way, I'm thinking of running XBMC because it looks way better.
The output will be an ancient CRT TV for now, but my brother can
probably work things out once I have everything set up so that if they
buy a newer LCD TV, things will be fine. Any opinions on that are
welcome as well. I have little experience with this, but hopefully
things will go smoothly.
As an alternate, I would suggest dispense away with all this research
of what works and does not.
I use an USB wireless keyboard/mouse combo. I get to control XBMC
and also use the same as a PC to browse the net, read email etc. when
I am in the mood to be a couch potato :) OK it is less glamorous
than an IR remote control but it meets my functional requirements.
