Rather glad now that I did not spring for an extra $50 for a higher end motherboard that included it.did they give you the price for their mce remote too? did they say where can you order it from? i emailed the same place as you, but they haven't reply.
I'm not sure if it will work with other, non ASRock motherboards but $8 is a heckuva lot cheaper than anywhere else for this thing.

rufrothy Wrote:So please post the ordering info when you get it for the $8 part
so when you get the IR header (receiver eye).
How are you going to get the power on and power off commands into the harmony? or is that already part of the MCE profile?
Very exciting

- Get XBMC remote, e.g. https://market.android.com/details?id=or...rch_result
- Get a wake on LAN app, e.g. https://market.android.com/search?q=wake...o=1&c=apps
Voila your mobile phone functions as remote and you can power on your computer with it
Edit : As it seems XBMC remote already supports wol by itself.
