I was more worried about vga drivers etc. Here's a link
to VIA's integrated graphics drivers page if you need it.

"The are about 13cm high from the pci slot." was the reply I got from 
Hauppauge.
They haven't responded to my info regarding the length which appears to be 
the issue
  with most cases.

Not sure, I think with the PVR-250, most of the work will be done in 
hardware.  Have you thought about using a Shuttle XPC? Nice size and all 
your performance issues just go away, more expensive though. Looking at the 
Shuttle Case pictures, there seems to be more room for cards.

Sorry to be vague!
