as you can see on the pick, my HTPC is inside the lowboard. As I dont like it being open, I prefer having the lid closed. So what happens is that, there is not direct IR connection which renders the IMON Remote useless. So I looked for an alternative, which uses Bluetooth. Therefore i ended up with couple of devices and first bought the Keysonic ACK 540 RF. As it was a relatively "huge" Bluetooth keyboard i was not really happy with it. So in the end I bought the DiNovo mini which i could fully adapt to MediaPortal. This does not work out of the box, but rather you need to download a so called "ueberoptions software" which allows you to assign ALL buttons in Mediaportal. so it actually works like a charm.
The only drawback i see between the Bluetooth devices and the IMON remote, is that I need to manually turn on the HTPC at the case, whilst the remote did that when pressing the power button. But this of course required the lid of my lowboard to be open.
I hope that i could help you out somehow.
best,
