At risk of drifting somewhat offtopic, I picked up a PCIe FireWire card a while 
back.  It's in my MythTV backend; a cable box hangs off it.  That freed up a 
PCI slot for a tuner.  They used to cost a fair bit more than PCI FireWire 
cards (which are dirt-cheap), but the price premium has since shrunk considerably.
