Ubuntu + XBMC

Is there any remote that will work right out of the box with this setup?

yes you need an usb IR for most remotes.
Like many others you can also use the original Xbox remote (DVD playback kit) and connect the IR dongle to Asrock usb with an adapter. Someone wrote up a great how to on this.

never seen anything worse than the 1000.

Too expensive, horrible thing to use.

I actually installed one once because some rich guy thought he needed the most expensive piece of crap there was :p

If you have an iphone/itouch on wifi it's almost as good without spending more. Just run remotepad app on both devices.
