i want a remote control for my PC so i can skip tracke change volume etc etc.
but there is only one thing which does this and it costs bucks and it is from creative!

NOW it is very very simple to control a pc with a remote!
what u need
a remote with buttons!
a receiver for infared which connects to a cable which connects to usb!
a program which controlls the usb interface and where u can program what shortcut keys u wanna control! so for example the play button would be crtl+alt+p or something!
see it aint that hard and it would be cheap! why isnt anything like that out there!

EXCEPT A WIRELESS KEYBOARD :) lol which wasnt the ideal

It's coming...that's why Microsoft is releasing its new OS soon. Windows XP Media Center Edition. New PC's using this new OS will have a lot of remote options.
