A lot of the capture cards do MPEG encoding, so the backend just has to
be capable of dumping the stream to disk, doing commercial flagging, and

Newegg has a fanless ION mobo/Atom CPU combo for less than $120.  You
could put together a near-silent (or possibly even totally silent)
front-end for well under $500.
