Without a doubt I would recommend the Squeezebox 2 from Slim Devices
(www.slimdevices.com). High quality audio components, and nice features
including streaming internet radio, optional wi-fi, and free server
software for your PCs. Brand new it lists for $199, a little over your
target price, but you can get them within your target price used
(http://search.ebay.com/slim-devices).
