The eMachines box did the job but was actually a bit underpowered for the task, according to the Hauppauge requirements. This new box was obtained for less than $300 and sports a quad-core AMD processor running at 3.0GHz, 4GB of RAM, a dual-layer DVD drive with LightScribe labeling technology, built-in Wireless 802.11n, a 1TB hard drive, included 5.1 surround audio, and it comes pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The only drawback is its 250-watt power supply, which is OK but won't support add on hardware well. The 750-watt power supply, AMD HD-4350 graphics card and Hauppauge! HVR-2250 card were all moved from the old system to the new one with NO issues whatsoever. Outstanding!
