Netbook as a Remote aka Tremote
Daydream:
$675 if you convert the advertised price for the UK launch. No word yet when and how much it'll be in US.

Does anyone know of any cheaper alternatives?

Gigabyte has a smaller, older, cheaper alternative, the M912. Guy in my office has had one for several months, really nice piece of hardware.

Started looking at the Philips Pronto touch screen remote - but for £1500 no thank you.
What about the Archos 5 or 7 Internet Tablets - these run Linux so an MC remote service would need to be developed for Linux (although not sure how simple/possible this would be) - but they are also ** cool devices.
The Archos 5 can be had for just over £200 and the 7 for under £300

Hello Jim,
Ok..... I have been using 'NetRemote' from Promixis for remote control of MC from another desktop.
I had not planned on looking at MC14 since you said it was very early in development, but after reading this I had to take a look. I installed MC14, on both my media server (MS Home Server) and on my Win7RCx64 system.
And of course you know there are problems, but its off to a great start.
I would be using this feature every singe day, if it becomes a full feature.
Please add my vote to .. PLEASE work on this.
Thanks!!!
Doug

Here's an example of what hardware will make possible in the next few years. (from engadget.com)
As a touchscreen remote, it could switch between displaying buttons and graphical information.
