Ahh, the old bespoke hardware..

We used to use a broadcast quality video capture system at work. We needed to upgrade the PCs it was running on. The boss wanted half height cases, but that would have caused a slight problem. The cards were 3/4 length, full height and took up the space of two PCI slots. It also required a hard drive bay for it's own HDD.

On the plus side, it was powerful enough to allow realtime editing of up to two simulataneous streams of uncompressed standard definition video on any machine with at least a Pentium 75.
