Can you fit a zalman heatpipe modified GFX card into a shuttle?

[Prodigy]

A friend of mine is considering putting a radeon 9700 pro into an SN41G2 (on my reccomendation ) and wants to know if he can put a heatpipe on the card and have it still fit?

I thought that you could but I'm not sure.

Anyone?

I would've thought not a chance !

I have a Hercules 9800 Pro with a blorb type fan on teh gfx chipset, I would say that there is no more than 2mm between the top of the fan and the side of the case.

If he mods the side of teh shuttle to allow the heat pipe to stick out then maybe.

Oh it would also rendering using the PCI slot impossible too :/

I have this card with this heat pipe and the cover fits fine. I don't know if this one will cool the 9700 or not though.
