I've got a pundit-r with a pvr-350 and pvr-500mce installed. Tight fit- need to use dremel tool to modify the cone on the processor fan in order to accommodate the 500. Used a layer of duct tape on inside of case to prevent direct contact of either card to metal on inside of case. The 350 has to be on the lower slot, the 500 on the top. The 500 would hit the processor heatsink otherwise. There is no way to try the cards on different slots to try to get around interrupt issues- this is the only way they'll go in. The 500 still doesn't work-(driver issues I think). So, in my opinion, they fit- but barely... Whether or not the two will work together in this box is a different question... _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
