Is there a windows way to record directly to mp3 to save space? I'm asking because I see people post their sets (converted to mp3). And if they record a 2 hour set to wav...the file is just too big to save and convert. I know it can be done on a Mac with Audio Highjack, but any windows suggestions, solutions, software that I'm not seeing?

This is done because making an MP3 requires a LOT of processor in order to encode and compress the original wave. I'm sure you can find programs or MP3 cards that will do this, but in general, there isn't really a market for this type of product because most people who record music want the highest quality, and most people who use MP3s just want to save on space or be able to transfer files quicker.
If you are going to spend the money on software or an MP3 card though, why not just get a bigger HD? You can get a 100GB western digital HD for $90 including shipping from www.pricewatch.com If you are strapped for cash, then a 60GB WD HD is $64. Anything smaller isn't a good deal.
