Thanks guys for creating this awesome forum and I'm very happy to be a part of it!

Welcome.
You made an excellent start with a 9800 and ATI All In Wonder card.
As far as "more hardware", the only item you're missing is a quality TBC -- be it a TBC-100, TBC-1000, CTB-100, or AVT-8710.
Read the full guide on TBCs (for videotape transfer) here:

If you have any color problems, you can look into proc amps (color processor/amplifiers), like the SignVideo PA-100 or Elite Video BVP-4. If you don't want to spend a few hundred on that, then you can try to survive with only software color corrections, using Adobe Premiere, Avisynth,
VirtualDub, vReveal, and similar tools.
Note that you can embed Youtube videos with the
[youtube] bbode tags.
Your last sample image was so good that I attached the FLV to your post. Nice comparison!
Also please don't delete posts within the editing window -- just add to it, or correct it, when needed. Otherwise it totally disrupts the conversation. I've restored your initial post. Others can learn from your mistakes. (Trust me, I've posted quite a few of my own here in past years!)
If you have any other questions, just ask -- and in new threads, when changing topics.
