I have a different Silverstone case with an iMon VFD and remote (looks like
the one that comes with the ML02), and had no problem getting them working
under Linux, but I've found that the remote itself is not very robust.  I've
had it almost 2 years, and several of the buttons have stopped working or
don't work reliably.  I've seen similar comments on this list, too.
Unfortunately, it's a nonstandard IR interface, so you can't just buy any old
universal remote to replace it.
