Infrared receiver for MCE

[luvclub]

Hiya,

Just purchased a "Logitech Harmony 525 Advanced Universal Remote" (using Ebuyer Google Checkout).

I am hoping to use it with MCE, but don't currently have any infrared receivers on my PC.

I hope to get a USB one, but could only find ones that are sold with other remotes.

Any ideas where I could get one cheaply?

I see a lot of IRDA devices. Are these compatible?

Thanks.

I haven't seen a stand alone ir receiver but quite a few 5.25" bay controllers and screens have them built in would that be a viable alternative?

Good idea! I never even thought to look at my Akasa All-In-One. Had a feeling it could have a IR port, but too bad it doesn't.

I only built my PC a few months ago so unfortunately it won't be an option to get a new bay controller as they all full now! And I can't possibly change my sexy Dell 24inch screen.

Hmmmm.... help!

PS any ideas on the IRDAs as I see they are dead cheap on ebay.
