Hey I'm looking into making my dumb TV into a Raspberry Pi XBMC smart TV. Haha. Ok no seriously. Here is what I want to do. I'm going to load XBMC onto my Raspberry Pi and plug it into my TV so my family and I can enjoy all the great media data we have on our different computers. What I need to know is, 1. Wireless Wi-Fi adapter will work with XBMC? And 2. Wireless Keyboard and mouse will work with XBMC? I won't be plugging hard drives into the Pi, I will be pulling my media data off my local network and using Airplay for my iPhone.
Thanks in advance!

Anything that works with the Pi should work.

Thanks so much! I'll get those same ones too! I got better help from Adafruit than I did from Element14! :)
