Yeap, it is getting harder to justify by a QuickCam 8) Last cheap price for Wincast Hauppauge TV/PCI was $89 at Fry's Electronics so if you a camera and a decent PCI motherboard you are all set 8) At any rate, with specials such as from Hauppauge which will sell a CCD camera for $99 the price is cheaper than a color QuickCam.
