If you know something about electronics you could use an unused hard drive connector from your power supply. Bring it out of the case through some connector on that back of the case. Run it to a box with jacks for all your USB tuners to plug into. Just need to check voltages needed by each device. Some might be geting other then +5 or +12 from their power supply in which case you may need to add some voltage regulators that feed off the +12 line to step down to what it wants. this way it all turns on together.
Or make a power supply that has outputs for each device. But you need to know about electronics to do it.

I have seen USB to serial and parallel adapters, but the parallel ones are kind of rare and you might need to mod your software
Oh, yes, I'll surely need to modify it, since my driver needs an old-style parallel port, an usb to parallel converter won't do. However, now that I think of it, I could use an usb to serial converter and instead of a driver write a daemon that uses polling to count the pulses. I'm still not convinced that a single pci slot is enough though.
I am using TeVii S660 and TeVii S650 USB DVB-S2 cards. So I don't need PCI slots.
The only problem with the USB devices is that they all require a seperate power supply.
Would this be an option for you?
