Hi, there are plenty of my First HTPC topics around, here is my first HTPC.

• MotherBoard : Gigabyte GA-H77M-D3H
  
• CPU : INTEL LGA1155,Core i3-2120
  
• Power Supply : HIGHPOWER 300W
  
• DVD Player : LG 24X DVD-RW
  
• RAM : 4 GB
  
• Case : SILVERSTON ML03B
  
• Storage : 1 * 750GB Seagate 2 years old Hard Disk
  
• Operating System : Windows 8 64bit
  
• Remote : Harmony One
  

The only thing not being great is the fact that I need to get up to fire up the HTPC because I don't won't to live it on Sleep

Wake on LAN + some kind of WoL Android tool? So you can wake the PC without getting up from the couch :-D

Thanks,

But ideally it should start with the Harmony remote , Well I am still digging in to it, and might use a arduino with Ethernet to do it.

Buy an RF USB receiver, it's what I do to use a Harmony remote to wake my HTPC

[Walrus]

You mean IR USB receiver

yep....

Thanks for your answers. I already have an IR USB receiver, but couldn't get it open the PC when shutdown.

I can get out the HTCP out from sleep but can't turn it on when it is closed. I can do it with a keyboard connected to the PS2 port but the same doesn't work with a keyboard connected to an USB according the manual. I believe it is possible with some motherboards but not mine. I need to test it but If I access the bios my tv says "unsupported Resolution" so I need to get a LCD screen from a friend before trying anything else.

Why only a DVD RW, you don't have any Blu-ray?

[oliverde8]

It is an old DVD Player, I toked from my old PC.

At the moment I don't have any blue-rays but I consider buying one in the near future.
