I don't do web browsing with it, but the Raspberry Pi running OpenELEC is fantastic for streaming movies, music and pictures from a server, or locally. It does Youtube, and various other online video sources through add-ons to the XBMC media environment.

$35 for the PI, $20 for a wireless USB stick, and around $50 for power supplies, wireless keyboard, USB hub, etc. and it's a very nice media player.

TheXPi.com sells three models of Raspberry Pi for different solutions:

The Bender runs XBMC for media center access to media resources on your network.

The Farnsworth is a video game emulator solution running MAME.

The Fry is a Raspbian Raspberry Pi solution with the straight Raspbian OS.

I have a Bender, and it’s amazing. Interfaces perfectly with my Synology NAS. Price is right as well.
