Windows 7 Media Center Remote Control

Hey Experts!!

I have a Windows 7 Ultimate HTPC and want a remote control for it, but don't know where to even begin.  I've searched, but don't know exactly what I need.  A Harmony would be ok, but I need a sensor for the PC.  If it has a mouse function great, but if not, no big deal

Thanks in advance.

If you have bluetooth you can use a sony ps3 remote. If not, you could also grab a $29 mini usb dongle to plug in the back. You can read more about it here.

Thanks everyone! Looks like I'll be going with the later 2. I have an Xbox 360, so the ps3 remote wouldn't really work. And the Bluetooth dongle, coupled with a remote would be going a little on the expensive side.
