Explanation

A small form factor (SFF) PC has a compact chassis that does not accommodate full-height or full-length expansion cards directly on the motherboard. A riser card (also called a riser board) is an adapter that connects to a PCIe or PCI slot on the motherboard and repositions the slot so that expansion cards (such as a video capture card) can be installed lying parallel to the motherboard, fitting within the SFF enclosure. An IDE sound card is for audio and uses a legacy interface. A standard PCIe video card would not physically fit in an SFF case without a riser. A PS/2 adapter is a keyboard/mouse port adapter, unrelated to video capture.
