I don't have pics, but I can tell you what I had to do to make it fit.

The rear corner next to the tall capicitar needs to be cut off. It took removing almost all of the indent to make it fit for me.
Then the other corner along the power connecter needs to be shaved down, but the screw hole can and should remain.
I have a drill press, but I am sure you can use a dremel.
I am using only 3 screws to hold the fan in place, but it is solid.
My temps reduced by 2C over my OCZ Gladiator with my Delta 7k fan.
I would have taken a 2C increase just from the much lower noise level.
I am using a 42.5 CFM Sunon fan sucking air from the heatsink.
I am sure with a higher CFM fan you would get somewhat better results.

HTH,
Mark
