No magic here, but I'm using a case I got from NewEgg called a Metal
Gear Box Substance (passive cooling) with a Prolific bridge, IIRC, and
a 7200 RPM IDE drive and it's fast enough for DV capture. I haven't
benched it beyond that but slow drives typically can't keep up with DV.
I have a 4-port Adaptec PCI USB2 controller I got from CompUSA for
about $40.
