[QUOTE="sgtsloth, post: 170177, member: 27736"] Like level20peon said, your server shouldn't need a card since it's just serving content. If you want to hook it up to a TV, than you'll need a card with the appropriate outputs. I have a 300gb hard drive and store lots of TV shows and music with no problem. If you want to rip all your DVDs, etc, then you will need more. But it really does depend on your needs. If you can afford 500gb, than go for it. I use Hauppauge's PVR-150 and it's great. Single tuner so you could either get two or get Hauppauge's dual tuner (PVR-500). Just make sure your card has an s-video out (lots do). You don't need anything too powerful - unless you want to run games - since it'll just add heat and noise. Hope that helps! :D [/QUOTE]
