My build is here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=128867
I bought an ASRock Smart Remote, but I just sold the thing after they sent me a remote and I realised the receiver is a real piece of sh*t.
As you can see, I have a CIR compatible motherboard which I currently have the front USB connected.
I may drill a hole and mount an IR receiver if I ever find somewhere that sells a suitable IR window. I have space now I've installed a Pico PSU and fitted 2 Red Wing 80mm fans on each side.
The problem is that nowhere sells the separate piece in the UK and the shipping from Inteset is $98 for the thing. I have another remote which I'm gonna test in the post, a Sony Vaio GP5U. Not sure if it's even going to work, but it was cheap from eBay. The PS3 remote I bought is garbage after it failed to pair after system sleep and now just will not pair no matter what I do.
