The motherboard I have is an Intel DP35DP. As it's going to be retired to the lounge to become my HTPC next year I'd like to equip it with a Vista Media Centre compatible remote at some stage.

The board has internal CIR emitter and receiver connectors. What I meant to do with these? Are there front-panel ir receivers available that connect via the internal connectors? All the remotes I have seen either use an external or internal usb receiver.

Here's the link that Intel promotes http://easy-cir.com/ but after visiting that I feel none the wiser. Can someone please enlighten me on how I use these internal connectors with a Vista MCE remote.

Thanks in advance.
