I have no second thoughts. The Elgato is completely unintrusive. It's smaller than a deck of playing cards. Your PC may be on or off--it has no effect on game display. Your PC can be anything--a laptop, desktop, etc. You can easily unplug the USB from one PC and plug it into another.

The device has no controls itself so you have to see the control panel on your PC monitor so you have to think a little about your setup. I like to have my PC on anyway when I am gamng so it wasn't an issue with me. I have the game on one monitor and the PC on another.

You can buy directly from the Elgato store. I think their prices are just a little higher than Amazon's,  I liked my HD60 so much I got an HD so I could record PS3 games. I got the HD60 from Amazon and the HD from the Elgato store. I have not had occasion to use the HD yet.
