As for fitting the cards in the case, yes, you can, provided you're patient and don't mind bending some metal. The PVR-250 was actually harder, it's about 2mil taller than the HD3000. I also had problems with the solder points on the PVR touching the HD tuner (or the other way 'round), which dictated which card went in which slot.
Finally, I did end up having to bend out the little metal tab on the chassis that clips to the card carrier, as it would not fit with the PVR. A minor adjustment that makes the final finish a little less-than-perfect, but it's hidden behind the case. I also had to file out space for the coax connectors, as they were touching the chassis, and due to the length of the barrel on the HD card, I couldn't get a good antenna connection. The PVR has a huge barrel, and that's not a problem.
