Do yourself a big favor and spring for a Hauppage card. It's a breeze
to get up and running. You can save money on other components.

With a hardware-encoding card you don't need as much processing power,
which means even a P-3 700 is enough. You can pick one of these up for
around $150. You can also save by getting an older video card -- I use
an nvidia Geforce 2. You can get that piece for a song.

There's also great deals to be had on hard drives -- I saw a 160 GB
Maxtor drive in Staples the other day for $60 (after $40 mail-in
rebate).
