Hiper HMC-2K53A is a media centre case manufactured by Hiper. It is normally sold as a bare-bones package but can also be obtained as OEM.
There is no IR receiver in the barebone versions of the chassis. There is, however, a COM port on the motherboard that can be extended to a standard 9 PIN port. After that, all you need to do is to buy or build an IR-receiver and fire up LIRC. Read more on www.lirc.org
The graphics adapter, nVidia 6150, works well with the latest Linux driver, but be aware that the GPU does not support cloning across two simultaneous analog ports, eg. VGA and S-VHS. You have to choose one or connect the monitor or TV to the DVI-D. With this device being designed to be a front-end, that is usually not an issue.
