    depends on. if you just want some wery simple as turning off an on something, then yes... but if you want some multichanel stuff it gets pretty much more complicated.

    what are you going to us it for? if you are going to controll software winlirc and a simple reciever (and an old remote or one of those multiremotes)

    Why not make an IR receiver for your computer?

    yes lol just check in your bios if theres an option to boot when usb is detected, probobly in power managment near boot from key press.

    And here is the remote:

    It's indipendent from your graphics card so you don't need an ati card.

    Might want to look at this:

    http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=83706

    The basic tranmitter/recever should be the same, just the way it interfaces with the computer will be different. You might want to use the serial port and write some software to interpret the data coming from it.

    For the system that I use to make (see link above :D) you can use any old remote that you have to hand.

    how would I make it so that in the circuit when I press one button it sends the data through the same output as the same output but makes something different happen?

    Depends on how many different things you want it to do.
    But you'll have to search and/or design it by yourself, for example using logic gates.
