The street price for a PVR w/o the daughter capture card is about $1580-1600.
This is without a SCSI-2 hard disk. Plan to add another $700-1800 for that
(depending on the capacity).
If this is too rich for you (as it was for me) consider buying a used PAR
card. I got one for $900 and an Quantum Fireball 1.2 EIDE drive for another
$270. It uses an ISA slot versus PCI and there are no WIN95 drivers for it,
but I get a data throughput of 6MB/sec for outputing my animations to tape.
DPS will have NT support for. (announced for april) If you have additional
questions, let me know.
If fact, I think Manuel Coats (Lightspeed) has a used PAR available for
around $900 or so.
