just where do you plug this thing.

[coilsinamotor]

so what does it do?

[Lance Mt.]

A remote control receiver for your computer (Windows has only been coded for).

It means you can sync up any remote you wish with it and give each button a different command and/or button

[uberdum05]

Linux has a program for it as well, its called LIRC. Just google it :)

[Lance Mt.]

Later that year i found it and have been loving it ever since :D

[spooge]

[Lance Mt.]

Yes, ideally.

price for most of the parts if you buy all new parts at radio shack is going to be around $15-20

What's it actually do?

[papalevies]

It receives IR signals from a regular remote control and using the software on the link you can bind any keypress to do something on your computer. For instance, you could adjust the volume of your PC speakers remotely.
