[QUOTE="fangio99, post: 979782, member: 108073"] What I meant by IR Filter was an IR Pass Filter to block other types of light (The dark red plastic that is used to cover IR receivers in every device I have seen with IR) The main reason for the internal IR is the ability to power on via remote. The streacom IR Receiver seems to be the best option for what I want to do but I want a bigger case than they offer. I can't find a reasonably priced aesthetically pleasing mATX case with decent IR built in hence trying to add one to a case I like. The only cases I have seen which might remotely have done the job is the MS-Tech MC-1200 (Powercool HTPC-006 / Techsolo TC-2200) or the X-Case Q4, I reckon they are all made by the same manufacturer and the actual remote controllers are terrible, so I would still need to replace them anyway. Also these cases either come with built in mATX PSU's which aren't great or from resellers who only sell their own brand mATX PSU's. I live in Ireland so I need to source it all from one place or the shipping costs are astronomical hence the Silverstone ML03B and the Streacom IR receiver. I was just hoping to find a way to fit the IR receiver so it looks like it was meant to be there no like I just drilled a hole in the front of the case and glued it behind the hole. [/QUOTE]
