of course the nyko bar will work. i even have one of those and its pretty cool. just if u get one, u need to have some extra batteries lying around because that thing needs four batteries to operate (four batteries all ready included) and by the way, some people say that the blue light is pretty bright, but it doesnt bother me much.
Thank you bleron for confirming me that the bar will work on pc gonna go buy it later this week when im free

I have also build my own yesterday. In my case i use
USB
How this work? Just a USB Cable (use only the two 5V + and - cables), 2 IR LED 3V, a 30cm small cable duct and just for each LED a 20Ohm resistance. now i can use it with my USB Port and don't must put my wii on that that i can play games on dolphine. And of course without battery
Here is a link to a TUT:
http://glovepie.sascha-grams.de/sensorbar-tutorial.htm
Cost: ~6€
On my build is only two diferences:
1. 30cm (a little longer)
2. i put aluminium foil i form a Reflector on the LEDs to get better result. (Wiimotes see the lites better, but without its also OK!)
Thanks for the link. You guys made me to make one
. I'll have to find a nice black cover for them. The bar will go on top of my 110" screen frame. What is the coverage with the bar? I need about 15ft (4.5m) of coverage, do you think it will work?
It should be ok. Wiitalk has a nice
article about sensor bars and ranges. In general, 3rd party bars like Nyko will have broader range.
I got Blue Ocean wireless sensor bar, it works fine at about 4 meters, but the battery consumption is significant (4xAAA, and once they're only halfway drained, which is maybe 20-40 hours of gameplay, wiimote becomes inaccurate and buggy), therefore looking into an USB solution like listed above on this thread.
