But why do you want a PCI based answer? A PCI RX is going to
have the same noise problems that the ISA products had. Inside
a computer case is just a very noisy environment for a radio.

someone managed to come up with a slot solution that somehow addressed
the various bleedover and harmonics issues.

Not in an older computer. The newer ones use lower voltages and higher
frequencies and therefore have less RFI inside. If you can locate the
board all the way at the bottom of the case, with a couple empty slots
above it, that might help as well.
