I've got a M10K in a Serenity case, but I replaced the built in power 
supply with an external brick and a DC-DC converter.  Only fan left 
is the CPU fan, and the machine runs pretty warm since there is 
nothing to move the heat out of the case - I even left half the back 
open and it's still warm.  This is a f/e with out any tuner cards (or 
PCI cards for that matter).

As far as IR, I went with a StreamZap USB remote.  I'd probably stick 
with your Hauppauge and be done with it.  8)
