How is this?

If you don't need hardware divx, a PCI card with hardware MPEG2 encoding like the Hauppage PVR-150 at $90 (pcalchemy.com) is a good choice.

The $45 Leadtek card is about the best software encoding card, but even with a fast CPU you're much more likely to have dropped frames and audio out of sync problems with a card that lacks hardware encoding.

Visit http://www.avsforum.com for people who take their HTPC way more seriously than I do 🙂
 
Software makes or breaks a PC based PVR, look for the software you want to use and get a supported card IMHO.

My computer is currently inoperable due to its fried mobo. But when I replace it (soon I hope) I intend to get a Leadtek WinFast TV2000 XP Deluxe (not Extreme, there's a difference).
