Adding an IR turn on to a new PC

Postby Hensley300 » Fri Sep 10, 2004 9:09 pm

Hey guys, just built a new pc for use with my home entertainment center. But, to be the ultimate couch potato, i want to be able to turn it on and off with a remote instead of getting up and pushing the button. Anyone know of a cool add on for this?
p.s. i dont have a tv tuner in it so that is not what im looking for

hmmm interesting. Thx for the reply. Ill get in touch with the pc remote control for windows guys as all i really wish to do is turn the pc on and off since i already have it hooked to my tv via the video card s-video out. It would be cool if it really does as the link suggests which is allow any remote to communicate with the pc.
