I think I was looking at around the 300 mark, but it was more when I was looking at using mobile processors (cooler therefore less fans and noise) etc. The cards I've been using are Terratec Cinergy 1400s, which have worked admirably with Linux (but I've not tried the remote control stuff yet). MythTV can be a bit of a fiddle but once it's running I've been very hapy with it.
