[ale] Linux XBMC on a pc: which IR do you use?

[david w. millians]

I have done the Acer Aspire Revo thing (goodness knows how many of the 
things they sold based on that link in lifehacker) and it's very sweet, 
excepting that lack of built-in IR.

So, which IR is anybody using on the Linux XBMC rig? And, since I'll be 
in Atlanta tomorrow, is it available at Microcenter or Fry's? My end 
goal is controlling it with the One Ring of remotes, the blessed 
Logitech Harmony 880. (Honestly, aside from microfiber cloths, it's my 
choice for technology of the millennium so far.)

Finally, how does it work on powering to/from hibernation or suspend 
mode? I'd rather not run the thing all the time, and hibernation or 
suspend mode- whichever one is deeper and less power, I never can 
remember- would be fine.
