</div>My original intent was to use a zotac mini mb with a m350 case. The<br>
mb had a usb port that I was going to use a cheap usb receiver and<br>
transmitter. Make a small cut out for the usb receiver. Slick neat<br>
configuration.<br>
<br>
Turned out to be a real pain in the @ss. You had to point the<br>
transmitter at very specific angles to get responses.<br>
<br>
That's why I decided to go with the RC6 usb windows media compatible<br>
external receiver. Still use the cheap transmitter on two of my front<br>
ends.<br>
<br>
My main TV is controlled using a One for All remote. Got the link<br>
from somebody in this list. Have never looked back.<br>
