Will the Streacom edition Flirc work with my case?

[vardman]

Hi everyone

I'm currently building a high end HTPC / gaming pc. Please find the complete spec list below.

As part of its media center functionality, I'd like to be able to control it via a regular IR remote. Flirc seems to be perfect in this regard, but I would also like to be able to power up the system via the remote and I believe the Streacom edition Flirc is the only one to provide this. As seen here: https://flirc.tv/flirc-streacom-edition

I'm using a Bitfenix Prodigy M-ATX. Will I be able to use the Streacom Flirc-SE IR receiver with this case? I understand the module is designed for Streacom builds, but I've seen that people have installed them in other cases. Is it difficult to do so? I can't find much information on the installation process or its compatibility. I wouldn't want to have to send it back if I discover it's not compatible!

Any information, advice or suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thanks so much

It will work, the only issue is mounting it in your case and having a hole for the IR to go through. But it'll work with any motherboard.
