Thanks for the comments, everyone! I think I will be going with the Air2PC 
card, as it sounds to be a reasonably good choice (for future support, 
too), and the $30 discount always comes in handy. I will also be 
attempting to put this into a system that already has 3 PVR-250's and a 
couple IDE controllers using the rest of the PCI slots, so the note about 
it possibly behaving better in cheap/crappy motherboards may apply even 
more to me.  :)

Appreciate it!
