Default Wifi reciever

Why not just grab an old pc destined for the scrap heap, streaming audio
would be an easy task, and if you simply wanted one stream it could be made
to go there at boot up.

Does it need to be WiFi? There are cheap bluetooth A2DP receivers and
transmitters ...


For ease of picking up a streamed radio channel that's coming in via
the main PC (actually from the wireless modem).
I could just put a mini FM transmitter on the SCART output of the
WDLive box (it does internet radio). I've had a look on the Chinese
techogadget sites and so far the only wifi option seems to be another
smartphone.
I did find this...

Which is perfect, but I'd hoped to find a DealExtreme variety of that
for much less dosh.
