I understand the ease of use of USB, but for a machine like this, it just seems to make sense to plug the cable wire into the back of the machine rather than into some little USB dongle. I might have to break down and go USB (definitely not Ethernet since the machine will be using that jack for it's internet connection), but I'll keep looking into a PCIe Tuner (found a few on TigerDirect) while I get the rest ordered and assembled (Shuttle case, Intel G33 mb, 250W ps, 2GB Ram, Intel Core 2 Duo ??Ghz, Fan, ??GB hd, and Lite-On DVD Burner)...
