I've seen a couple posts where people have expressed an interest
in running CDJ on a thin client. Here is a picture of an
almost-thin client:

You would need to buy a little USB device to provide
the serial and ethernet ports, but you wouldn't need
a disk drive as large as the one in his example.
The interesting deal is that is relatively small and not
all that ugly to look at. It may actually pass the
Spousal Living Room Standards Committee. ;)
Although the base price is only $99, it may no longer
be price-competitive after you get all the doo-dads
necessary to make it work. Hard to tell.
The added bonus of Angela being able to access her
web-based e-mail and do a little browsing in a comfortable
environment like the living room will probably make it
a worthwhile endeavor for me.
