Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Looking to spend around 90 USD

You're not going to get an HD capture card for $90. Plus, you have to have RAIDed hard drives if you want to record in HD.
Just go with this one -

It's $149, and it's almost as good as an HD one.

Thirst is right. I was originally interested in getting the best of the best, but then I realized that even SD recordings are likely going to be scaled down and compressed before anyone else sees them (YouTube, etc), so it would be almost pointless to get full HD (unless you plan on burning them to BluRay or something).

If he's asked for HD, help him with HD... he obviously said it for a reason.

Yeah, but at the same time, he might not have known that it takes at least a dual-core processor with 4 RAIDed HDD's to record with a HD capture card.

Does 1080i no need for an extreme computer, and its cheaper

Definitely didn't know about the whole raid server thing. But I like Thirst's item, thanks guys.
