Wireless internet and TV maybe?

Ok here's my predicament.

I have a nice 54mb wireless router setup in my lounge in my house. Up until
now I have accessed this from another room in my house via my laptop.

My laptop recently bit the dust. So my question is a question that may be
irrelevant to this group but I'm not sure which group it may be relevant to.

I am thinking of raping the laptop for the working lcd screen and attaching
it to a self built desktop small PC then using that to access the internet
in the room I used to access with my laptop.

On top of that. I currently have cable digital TV and thought maybe through
one of the reception transmitters on the market I could pick up the signal
on my new PC setup.

Hope you know where I am coming from on this and recommendations to all
hardware needed would be appreciated. Are these new TV radio transmitters
good enough?

Thanks in advance

The netgem freeview box may be an option, it is currenly available
from the BT web page (rebadged BT) for about 65ukp which includes a
wifi keyboard.

Internet access reasonable and all TV freeview channels available.

Works on WiFi (with certain adapters) or DUN.
