Sapphire HD 4850, Awesome Card! Won't Fit!


I purchased this video card with much fragging in mind.

However, when it arrived the card wouldn't fit in my motherboard. There's a capacitor in the way. If you've ever seen this card, the heat-sink and fan are huge.

Does anyone have any ideas on what to do? From what I can gather these cards run pretty hot, so I'm reluctant to run it without the fan.

I have a smaller fan lying around, no heat-sink on it though, that I could hack onto the board...maybe see if that would work.

Other than that...what could I possibly do? With all the brain power here, someone's got to be able to think of something!
