What’s the cheapest way to hook up a TV, a router, and a wireless keyboard and mouse combo?
I just need it for things like Microsoft Office online, checking emails, watching YouTube, and that kind of stuff—basically just browsing the web and nothing else.
Everything would be done online.

Thanks!

You could build a decent Home Theater PC, or maybe just grab a cheap Android TV Box if you want to save some cash. Check out this thread:

An Android TV Box, or just buy a Smart TV that already has it built-in

I’ve got a chance to pick up a Netbook with an Intel Atom processor running a 32-bit OS for a pretty steal.

Do you think I could turn this thing into a decent Home Theater PC? And if so, what kind of OS would actually run well on it?

It's a losing battle. That thing is ancient—no ports and the resolution is garbage. You'll just end up fighting with it constantly only to realize you're still disappointed, especially if you actually have a decent TV.

If you want something that actually works and has everything you need, look at this:

The old Android 4.4 stuff isn't worth it. I personally use an Android TV Box—a Tanix Tx3 Mini—which I grabbed off Gearbest for about $32, and it showed up at my door in two weeks.

I wouldn't even bother trying to install Kodi on this thing. The latest software you can actually flash is version 5.0.
