[I hope this is the right place to ask this question. apologies in advance if it isn't] I'm looking at building a PVR using a Chyang Fun e-Note case. This has left me with two basically spatial (and linux related) problems. The first, and most relevant to this list is that the case only has room for small PCI cards. Apparently it will fit anything up to 7.8cm high. Is there a tv capture card that's supported under linux that will be small enough to fit in this space, and if so, is there one that will capture in mpeg2/4? The second issue, which is probably slightly off topic is the choice of motherboard. The case appears as if it will only take mini-ITX or flex-ATX boards. The EPIA-M motherboard seems pretty good on every count except CPU power (and the fact that as I understand it you can't use TV-out and S/PDIF at the same time). Does anyone have any experience with flex-ATX form factor boards (preferably AMD) that would do the job? I've only been able to find one board which fits the bill, but it lacks digital audio out, and is based on a SIS chipset, for which I have no idea of the quality of linux support. Thanks, Toby.
