Abit AN8 32X, Help with replacement cooling solution!

Just ordered this board from newegg. I plan on running it upside down in my Lian-Li 2000. I know that the heatpipe cooling is a no-no upside down, so I plan on replacing the two heatsinks that are part of the heatpipe config.
If someone who has this board could help me out I would really appreciate it! I need to know the distance between the push-pin holes for the block that is between the pci-e slots. It looks like a simple Vantec Iceburg cooler will fit, but if someone could put a ruler between them to verify, that would really help. Next is the one on the other end. What are the dimensions on the heatsink itself? I was thinking this one by Zalman would fit: http://www.frozencpu.com/vid-17.html If someone could measure that one as well, I would be in debt forever!

Thanks.

That thing is huge and too pricey. I'm not even sure it would fit there, it might interfere with the cpu cooler (Swiftech waterblock). I was hoping someone with this board could just measure the length and width of the heatsink itself. Anyone with this board out there?
Thanks for the response, btw!

That's the one with the Silent OTES label on it? If so, thanks!!!!!! I'll start shopping around and see if I can find something that will fit.
