HD Content - Methods?

Just brought a Sony 32" LCD TV last night (after deliberating for what seems like an eternity over which to get)

So... with this on the way, I need to decide how on earth I am going to feed it with HD content!

I've got a laptop - but this only has VGA connector - as I understand it it's not possible / stupidly difficult to change the onboard graphics card to one which would have a DVI connection.

I've got a desktop with a DVI connection (currently being used for my monitor), however, this is in a different room. Cable wise from PC to TV would be around 15-20meters. (As this is in a different room I think controlling the PC might be an issue - all I could think of here was a longish USB cable with a wireless receiver on the end for a mouse/keyboard/combined touch pad thing)

So, what would you recommend for the cheapest way to get HD content on the TV?

I know a tasty media PC or a PS3 would be decent options - but both are gonna be expensive - with a media PC being around 400+ and a PS3 being around £250...
