Those are pretty huge PCI cards, so I would assume the PVR-150 would
fit into the case... I also use it to watch HD recorded from a
HDHomeRun in my closet (those things are cool). I can record on all
four tuners at once and watch HD at the same time without any problems,
and I'm only using an ATA100 IDE hard drive, seems fine.
