GTX 260 on a D975XBX2

Has anybody tried using a GTX 260 (or 280) video card on their D975XBX2 motherboard? The reason I'm asking is I noticed the 260s have a shroud on the backside and the D975XBX2 has very little space between the bottom RAM clips and the video card. I wonder if the 260 will fit.

Well I got a GTX 260 from my local retailer (Futureshop) who had it on sale. Since they have a no questions asked return policy, I figured I could just return the card if it didn't fit. The good news is that this card fits on the D975XBX2 housed inside a Zalman GT1000 case. The backside of the card clears the RAM clips with a mm extra space to spare and for those wondering about the case, there is still approximately half an inch space between the card and the HDD bay.
