    Ahh okay, well not having a lot of pci cards works well for me, i get lots of airflow under that big heatsink which is good :).

    ive a gigabit onboard my epox aswell, and i dont need a sound card because theres 7.1 on the mobo, but i dont use it, i use the digital out to a seperate amp for full gaming sound.
    so it just the tv cards for me (mainly for capture)
    is supprising the quality of straight satellite to mpeg

    Well one of the graphics card I had, was a pinnacle card with a break out box, it had a firewire connection. However, Connecting the camera to the firewire care worked just aswell.

    2nd Rig, really only for surfing and folding. Neat and tidy but very uninspiring.
