Recommend me a cheap pc to hook up to a tv

This pc will be for my mom, who mainly uses the pc to surf web and watch her drama (yes, asian soaps)
-inexpensive, within $200 will be best
-small footprint as my entertainment unit set up is minimalistic

Any recommendation is appreciated.

Raspberry Pi. ~$57 (diygadget.com) after shipping and tax... you can use smart phone as a remote control.
