I'm thinking about making a "custom" media center, rather than buying one. More to the point, when I build my new system, I want to put a remote control reader on this computer and hook it up to the TV, use it "like" a media center, to play DVDs and video CDs.
So... How do I go about getting a remote and infared receiver, and the program to make the remote work? Do I need the Media Center pack from Microsoft? (I think it's like $20.)
