[strike]Issue 1:
We would like to have the HD feed from our STB be viewable on any monitor so we would like to pass it through the PC. This causes some serious problems since I cannot find a videocard that accepts component cable input. The best I could find is this http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hdpvr.html. [/strike]
Issue 2:
Since I’ll be using 3 video cards, I need a motherboard that is laid out such that we will have a slot for the video capture card.
Issue 3:
This is also a bit of a marketing toy (show the clients…) so very slick looking case is a must. Interesting keyboard/mouse/io options also welcome.
Issue 4:
Id like to keep the video cards of all the same type, and the 9500GT looks good, so I’ll need 3x PCI-E 16 slots
