I'm looking for an IR Blaster to use with my newly built HTPC and Harmony Remote.

Also need some type of wireless connection for 801.11b. It can be a PCI card, USB adaptor, or a PCMCIA to PCI adaptor for a PCMCIA card I already own.

FOUND!I'm also looking for a black DVD-ROM or DVD-RW because the DVD-ROM I have in there now is too loud!


Thanks,
RideGuy

The guy sells the home made ones for $15USD shipped. That's not bad. Thanks for the link.

Anyone else have a commercially made one they don't use?

There's lots available at computer stores like this: http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=005634&cid=NT.541
but 20 bucks for a simple ir reciever isnt funny. :(

I believe IrDA is for communicating between laptops and PDAs and such. It won't work as a remote reciever.
