Radical Remote

The most unique feature of this panel is without doubt its remote features. This panel system has the ability to turn off and on and restart your computer with the simple push of a button on a wireless remote.


Pictured above is the antenna. It telescopes, so it can reach a distal range, and it easily connects to the provided PCI slot accessory.


Pictured above is the front and back of the remote, not bigger than a car key, the remote is lightweight and can fit right on your key chain. It uses one 12V alkaline battery.
I tested out the remote and it seems that:

1. It is omni-directional. I suspect it to be a radio transmitter rather than an infrared type setup. This is a definite plus.
2. Its range is under stated at 15 feet, I found I could use it at 15 feet without the antenna, with the antenna I got more like 25 to 30 feet, even through walls.
3. The unit makes a clicking sound when you hit a button, kind of like a motor with a piece metal at the end hitting another piece of metal.

Issues

Every item has its problem. This panel seems to have one that is also easily fixable.
The motherboard connector is only 20-pin, So if you have a 24 pin motherboard you are in some trouble. All you need to do to fix this, if you need to use a 24-pin connector, is to cut the wires and reroute them to the proper positions on the 24-pin motherboard connector.

As you can see the problem....


...is easily solved

Now this was an easy fix for my PSU connector because I could just remove the extra 4 pins for a 24-pin setup, but what about those who can't? Or who need those extra 4 pins? The only fix is to cut then rewire the wires to your motherboard connector. This mod is not too hard, but it might void your warranties.
