First, decide that you want two PVR-250 cards in your Asus Pundit. 
The PVR-250 cards are taller than the metal PCI bracket, and I don't
think the Asus engineers planned for that.

Next, find a sheet metal cutter...

In this picture, you can see that the card is pushing _hard_ against
the chassis.  You can't fit a piece of paper in there.  That clip
with the yellow and black wire had to be moved too, but it's got one
of those sticky pads so it wasn't too difficult.

- From the back, pundit is on its side.  That's the foot/base to the
right.

That tab facing down and the wedge of metal in front of it is the
problem.

With the second card inserted, you can see that the wedge of metal is
hitting one of the screws that holds the PCI bracket to the card. 
Tab A can't get into slot B.

The obvious solution.

Much better.
