Hi all, I tried to read as much of the thread as I could. I have the ASRock A75M-ITX FM1 motherboard. Am I correct in understanding that I don't need a CIR module, and that I will be able to use a wake on USB function to start up the PC?
If this is true, then what kind of USB-IR receiver should I be looking at? I'm also looking for a cheap but nice universal remote, no desire for LCD on it or anything like that. How do you get it to learn the right command for turning on/off the htpc? Thanks.

i dont know everything but,
the USB wake function is so far a hit and miss,,,
maybe ask user named BALINUS,
he currently uses the USB wake function
on the same motherboard as you.
ask him which USB IR receiver he uses.

Iv recently bought the asrock h67 itx/ht and was looking forward to its ability to start and shutdown from s5 via remote. I just assumed i could use the supplied usb/cir receiver in a rear usb port with an extender lead to bring it around the front of my tv, but after reading the manual it seems i need to hook up front usb ports to the internal usb and cir header. The problem is the case im after (wesena itx2) doesnt have front usb ports is there anything i can do so that i can use this function ? any help would really be appreciated

I have the same on it's way in the post. The easiest way would be to have a usb extender cable from the rear so the line of sight would be ok. Ugly solution perhaps though.
