It looks like a fun toy, - Ed, The X-10 computer interface WILL allow you to control things with your computer directly. By this I mean that you press the right buttons on your computer and things happen. It might be a cheaper solution for you. The thing also comes with documentation which will allow you to write your own contoller program for your computer. I think the price is around $39.00 box, cable, and software with Docs.
