For MCE and Vista use with analogue TV or a Foxtel/Optus box, the Hauppauge PVR150 is ideal. IF you want to do DVB Tv, get the Novat-T 500MCE as it has dual tuners - both of these cards are low-profile or standard height. For Myth, the AverMedia A777 is natively supported - see www.linuxtv.org for more cards.
I'm unsure about the tuner cards, though...
