ITX MB with powered USB ports in S5
#1
Recently I bought a new case for my HTPC. The case includes an IR receiver which is able to turn on the PC via remote (it is connected to the power button MB header). The IR receiver is also connected to an USB header, for power and communication.

Problem now is that my MB doesn't power the USB ports when it's turned off (S5). Therefore, the IR receiver is not powered and not able to turn on the PC.
The current MB is an ASUS E35M1-I Deluxe (I'm quite disappointed that such a premium board doesn't feature an option for powered USB in S5, as even my Gigabyte mATX board from a few years ago supports this).

Now, I'm looking for a replacement ITX MB (preferably E-350 based) which indeed powers the USB ports while in S5. As it's nearly impossible to find if a board supports this on the manufacturer's websites, I hope that some of you recognize the problem and can recommend a suitable new board.

Thanks!
