Ok I'm building my mom a HTPC for chirstmas so she can record her shows on the hard drive rather than VHS. I know she's old school. I have found this card from Newegg.com but I want to see if I can find one a little bit better.

The motherboard is an ITX mini form factor with one PCI slot. I ordered the case and CPU today. The CPU is Intel Celeron E3300 2.5GHz Dual Core wolfidale. And the Case is a Foxconn Mini ITX case.

I'm going to give her 4GB DDR2 800 memory.

Mother board is an Intel G31 Mini ITX. So I hope the celeron can handle the graphics.

here is the card I'm looking at right now. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6815122012

case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811153099

it needs to fit that case.

I'm using this TV tuner and I love it.

HD looks very nice on it using Windows Media Center via Windows 7.

the only problem is that is a PCI express where my mother board is this one and only has one PCI slot.
