Any one use an IR receiver on their HTPC? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Im thinking of building a HTPC once cable in my area is done for. See here:
Screw card sharing!

I am looking in to cases, and Im wanting a quiet and efficient HTPC, so I looked at the Antec range. I discovered one(about £95) that had a PSU and also an IR receiver built in, but Im just wondering if any one here actually uses that?

I will also want to attach a keyboard/mouse because of the downfall of teletext, meaning content can be searched for online

I've got an Antec Fusion IR and am quite pleased with it. Can be a bit slow to respond on occasion, but it's the exception rather than the norm. I use it with a wireless keyboard and mouse when necessary.
