PPRO 2.0 - What capture card are you using? Any Matrox Axio LEs?

I'm in a bit of a dilema and would like some advice.

First, let me run down what I'm currently using. I have a system running PPro 1.5 with the Canopus DVStorm 2 Pro card, and I love it, but I recently had a power supply fail and it took out an IDE channel on my motherboard at the same time, so it's time for an upgrade.

I've been looking hard at Vegas, Edius, Avid, and Premiere Pro 2.0, and I've decided to stick with Premiere, mainly because of the integration with the other Adobe programs I use constantly.

My problem is that the Canopus DVStorm2 is not compatible with PPro 2.0 and never will be (most think it wasn't compatible with 1.5, but my system has always worked perfectly).

I've been looking for a capture card to replace the Storm if I decide to build a new system and upgrade to 2.0, and I found the Matrox Axio LE. It seems like it has good capabilities for SD and HD, bumps up the realtime performance of Premiere, and gives me all of the inputs/outputs I would need.

Does anyone have this? Or have a similiar solution for Premiere Pro 2.0?

One thing I have now with the Storm that I really like is the realtime component output to a production monitor and I would really like my next system to have that as well.

Any help is appreciated!!!!
 
I hear great things about the Axio. I think Matrox makes a video card, the Parhelia, that has component outputs. If that's all you need, it's much cheaper.

Sorry about your PSU... That happened to me once and I lost the whole computer. :(
