I use this keyboard on the Myth boxes as well and it is very handy to have a 
keyboard now and then... normally in a drawer, but beats having to deal with 
cables, etc. when you need it.
 
for the price, you can easily disassemble and "mount" the receiver internally.
 
IMHO.

Rich,
 
Secondarily, if you think you might like to access the computer occasionally 
with a keyboard, you might consider this little gem or something similar.

Since it's a IR keyboard, it's cheaper than the RF models. And better than 
that, since it's IR, a learning remote should be able to "learn" the keypresses 
you want it to. "P" for pause and all that. That also eliminates lirc. 
 
Then you would just have to figure out how to take the bulky receiver and route 
it inside the case like you want. It should be the easy way out, although I 
have not yet tried this myself.
 
 
Again, I'm not sure what vendors you have available to you in the UK, but 
hopefully somewhere somebody would have this for �12 or less.

        Has anyone implemented an internal infra red receiver for use with 
lirc? I want to have a unit internally housed in my myth box, modifying the 
front of the case to allow the signal through. Anyone achieved this or know of 
a site with some information on parts required? I'm in the UK, so I guess 
maplins will be a source of parts for such a venture.

         

        Cheers

        Rich
