Internet appliances are good,  but I don't know exactly how
customizable they are ... but that's just imo.

There are those all-in-one enclosed PCs that you can get (where the
CPU is behind the LCD screen). They are quite the space savers, and
run cheaper than regular desktops. I remember seeing one for sale at
http://www.tigerdirect.com

If your fridge needs an upgrade, I would heartily recommend the
internet-enabled fridge from LG electronics ;)
