That's really depends on what you want to spend. You can get a Roku or a Popcorn Hour for $100 or so. But, I think they are a bit limited. The other option is a Media PC... Personally, I would recommend a Mac Mini with Plex. http://elan.plexapp.com/ Check out this screen cast about it. http://www.screencastsonline.com/ind...O0201-plex.php

I assume your projector has DVI or HDMI input. If so the Mini will connect to it fine. You should get one of the current gen Minis because they have the discreete video card.
