Well? I need to know this by today or no dice.

If I don't hear back soon, I'll have get something else since I have to have something built by tomorrow.

I am hoping MO offers next day delivery from Kanada to the USSA.

Amdhunter ,

I'm going to post the same answer here, that I sent via our sales email,

I don't have a solid answer right now, we are planning on testing it out, since one of us has a Harmony remote at home but I don't think we will get to that today, but seeing as most of the Harmony remotes seem to be able to control Media center devices (Ie Xbox 360) setting the remote to use those codes SHOULD work with the GX.

If your purchase one from our website, the option is "UPS Express Saver" for our fastest delivery.

Thank you,
Julian

Hi amdhunter,

The GX requires a single bay, a USB connection, a Windows OS, and LCDStudio software. LCDStudio will pull info from your system and various monitoring apps and show it on the GX as part of your custom playlist.

The two shipping options I see on my account are UPS Saver and FedEx Priority. If you make an account on our .com site and check out with a GX in your cart you'll be able to see the options available to you.

Thanks,
~Troy

We tested the Harmony remote at the office today and yes, it does work.

That's awesome.

One more question: How is the "texture" of the black cover? I am *really* insane about maintaining looks.

Hi AMD,

Sorry for the delay, it seems the GX bracket is difficult to describe. On paper, it's black aluminum, there are no brushing effects, and the finish is rather matte. If you haven't already, you can check out some of the builds in our gallery to get an idea of what that means visually.
