TV Tuner $14.99
bt848 or bt878 based TV Tuner. Well supported under Windows and Linux as there are GPLed drivers available. They mainly had the newer bt878 cards there when I bought mine @ their B&M store.
**The drivers supplied by AiTech (the manufacturer) is WAY outdated and if you plan to use this card, you WILL have to use the GPL/3rd party drivers which requires some tweaking to get it working. This is not a card that you can simply plug in and expect to work right out of the box. A good side of it is that some folks say these open source drivers tend to perform better than ones provided by companies like Hauppauge, ATi, Leadtek, etc.**
Internal PCI NIC w/4pt Switch - $14.99 (using coupon code)
Kinda interesting. A NIC and switch put on one card itself. Uses the ADMtek 983B chip for the Ethernet MAC/PHY. Linux supported by using the generic Tulip driver. Kinda cool for smaller LAN parties A switch alone usually costs that much alone (not counting MIRs). Routing functions aren't firmware based or anything. It's all software loaded. Supplied software seems to be a fully functional copy of Sygate Home Network v4.5 which is worth ~40 bucks MSRP.
**This card has only one SINGLE Ethernet controller chip that is hardlinked INTERNALLY to the on-card switch (think of it as an virtual 5th RJ45 port that's already connected). Basically, the NIC will always have its line up and running. The external ports act as a switch, so don't expect this to be a multi-ported NIC**
