I run a Hauppauge 1600 on a Dell Vostro desktop with a low end 512 mb nvidia card. It's a dual tuner so I can record both Rogers cable in SD and OTA HD with a channelmaster antenna in the attic. I didn't like the WinTv software that came with the tuner, so I purchased BeyondTV which has a "showsqueeze" feature which lets me convert the huge captured avi into a much smaller Divx avi.
