I have a Sony VAIO desktop (VGC-RA842G). It came stock with an Nvidia 6600 PCI-E card. I need to replace the card. The problem is that there is a what appears to be a plastic block above the card that appears to lock the card in place.
See this link for a photo - it's that big black thing on the right:

The top edge of the card seems to fit very snugly into a slot in the bottom of the plastic block, while one side of the plastic block seems to be attached to the side of the power supply, possibly with adhesive.
Does anybody know the best way to remove this block or otherwise figuring out a way to remove the video card?
Does this block serve any purpose other than locking the video card in place?
