...So I bought a 3.2 ghz IBM off ebay, with the intention of making another Mythbox for my daughter. I had it running HD recordings off my old hard drive with R5E50 in about 10 minutes, but crashed & burned when I discovered all the PCI slots are half height.

I've been using full height Air-2-PC, Kworld 110 & 115 cards and am blanked as to what to use that will fit half-height slots. Anyone have any experience in this area ?

dvico lite maybe? Check support though.

what about the HD-5500? They call it "low profile" but it's pictured with a full-height bracket. I'm not sure if it means you can order it with a short bracket or just that it's a short card.

good luck!

My Fusion Lite is low-profile. It didn't come with a low-profile bracket, but with some minor cutting/bending it should fit the bill...

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to try out the HD Homerun box. It connects via LAN so it doesn't take up any space in the PC at all. Features dual tuners, too.

Thank you gents !
I'll look into those...

(The computer is currently playing fine with the cover off & a Kworld 110 sticking out of the top...)
....but this is probably a temporary solution...

When I bought my divco Fusion lite 5 in early 2006, it came as a full height but had a half height bracket in the package.

It's been over a year so YMMV.

Thanks !
I'm seeking a Dvico Fusion 5 lite, since it seems to be one that works...
as long as the card size is low, I'll find a way to deal with the bracket ....

....Indeed I got one & put it in. It comes with both a short & 'regular' size bracket.
