keyboard emulation on a gamepadFollow

Is there a way to run a PC with nothing more then a gamepad? For example say I bought one of those Xbox 360 wireless controllers for a PC. The only thing I really want this PC for is to run a handful of games and maybe browse the internet. Is there a way to control the PC with the gamepad as a mouse and also use it to push keys on the screen kinda like the Wii does when you browse the internet?

I want to build a PC and stuck it in the cabinet under my tv and use it for basically the internet and a handful of games. I don't plan on typing on it other then maybe a website or search phrase every once in a while. I don't really want to mess with a keyboard and mouse though if I can get away from it as it would just take up alot of room I don't have.

The 360 gamepad has a keyboard adapter that connects between the two hand held parts. It's probably just a matter of finding an adapter to connect the gamepad to the PC and the software to get them talking. Their may not be any official software that does this but I am sure you can find some somewhere.
