    Front-Panel IrDa

    Seeing an ASUS I-Panel for sale at a local computer-store, I was intrigued. The device had front audio, serial port, USB, temperature, and fan monitors. However, my hopes were shot down when I found out that it was only available for ASUS motherboards (why I had even thought otherwise now seems stupid to me). Anyway, now I'm in the market for something that I can attach in a 3.5" or 5.25" drive bay and connect to the IrDa connector on my motherboard (ABIT KD7-E, though I wouldn't think it would matter...).

    Anyone know some good products? I don't want anything but the IrDa at the front... if it would be easier to make it myself, I will, but I would appreciate some feedback

    Abit MediaXP / MediaXP Pro.

    I use it with my AT7-MAX2, and it works a treat.

    IT HAS:

    SD (Secure Digital)
    MS (Memory Stick)
    CF (Compact Flash)
    2 x USB2.0
    1 x IEEE1394 Firewire
    1 x SP/DIF Optical
    1 x Headphone socket
    1 x Microphone socket

    Oh... and a remote control for WinDVD & WinRIP. Nice piece of kit for £28.

    I need to check with my account manager at Abit, but I think it should work.

    The MediaXP doesn't have the remote, it's only the PRO version that does.

    As regards the fan monitors... they would need to be on a seperate riser, but really... do you need one?

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Paul.

    Yes, but does it have IrDA or just a "built-in" remote? I need the IrDA for Linux interoperability.

    It's just a remote i think...

    but you can re-program the IrDa in linux if you wish!
