Guys,
i am new to the forum. I have reasonable knowledge about HTPC and have one running well for more than 6 months now. I have HVR 1600 for OTA HD capture. I got a micro ATX media center case with MB and power supply. I am planing to convert that to my HTPC so it will be slim and fit inside my entertainment center.
I am planning to upgrade the MB with a new one that will take a c2d processor. I like the ABIT Fatal1ty F-I90HD and it has a HDMI out which i really like and i dont need any seperate video card since its just for recording and watching HD TV programs.
What i dont know is how I can use my hauppauge HVR 1600 HD capture card in the micro ATX case. It needs aPCI slot which is available in the ABIT MB i want to buy but dont know what to do about the size (length) of the regular PCI card. Would like to know if there is a way to make it possible. If not what options i got for capture card if I want to use this case.
