Probably. Do you already have HDMI and/or other cables running to the room upstairs?

If you have network connection upstairs, you could try one set of these:

If you have an Android device, you could try "Air HID". It makes your android phone/ tablet into a WiFi mouse/ keyboard.

Might cost more to do this than to get a basic pc to use in the room you want to view in, but there are some gadgets to experiment with:

For the mouse, you might consider trying an RF media center remote instead. If it won't reach you can always return it.
