I found these 2 remote and IR receiver kits in Amazon, less than 23 USD including shipping to MY. HP seems to be a better choice because the receiver is smaller and there are reviews saying it is working and you can use the remote to boot up and shut down your pc. However I bought the Lenovo kit because at that time it did not allow shipping of the HP kit to MY. Now it does, just a few days later.

The IR receiver is eHome/RC6 compatible. It also came with what appears to be an IR emitter. I use it with XBMC MCERemote plugin. Once the builtin settings are applied (and reboot) most common keys work. By default, the power button will put your pc into sleep and also wake the pc from sleep. I have only tried with S3 sleep mode. However, I mapped the power button to alt-f4 so it can shut down XBMC and also windows. I also mapped the Windows key to start XBMC.

QUOTE(alucard89 @ Feb 20 2012, 07:49 PM) Alright, I think I'll get the HP MCE remote, Since it's also listed as supported in the XBMC wiki page. This one looks like the latest model. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-HP-MCE-Media-C...E-/320687855790Should be ok rite? Looks good.
