$449 is more than I want to spend, but I guess if I truly needed all the features of the AIW 9800 Pro then I would lay down the cash.

heh that card gives me wood...

If I had 449 dollars I would gladly fork it over.. with the amount of time I spend on my pc and being on cable internet jacking right into the cable and watching tv on the PC would rule, I already watch DVD's. Also being able to record my favorite shows would kick but...

Oh I can see where this card would lead my to another 2k dollars in debt. Figuring new processor, ram, psu, mobo, harddrives (would need 400gig for video and such) yeah plus the card and the dvd burner

o my...
