Anybody know how to physically hook up a Dreamcast(or any console) to a TV tuner card? Haven't bought the equipment yet, just wondering if it's easy or requires a run to Radio Shack for a few extra cables

If your tv card has an F-connector(coax cable) you should be fine. With most newer gaming consoles, you can also connect using RCA jacks (seperate video, L-audio and R-audio), if your tv card has these. I'm not sure about the Dreamcast but you also may be able to use the S-VIDEO jack(in conjunction with L/R-audio RCA jacks) to connect, if your tv card has S-VIDEO.

To make it easy for you, hook it up the same way you have it for a regular TV.

you might need to make a trip to radio shack if the the audio in on the TV card is a stereo adapter, then u need a female (what ever hte dream cast connector is) to a male stereo jack.
