Is there a 580 GPU WC for me?

Hi lads,

I've a Lian-Li V354B case (not my PC but like this: http://media.photobucket.com/image/recent/bradmax57/P1030102.jpg ), an EVGA GTX 580 (standard) and a 650W XFX PSU. I'm looking to watercool my GTX580 (would like to get an all-in-one kit if there is one).

The problem is the GPU sits very close to the PSU, and all waterblocks have the pipes sticking out on the side instead of remaining "inside the card area" so to speak, so I'm afraid the waterblock won't fit because the pipes will hit the PSU.

Any thoughts?

edit: The pic below (from http://www.dvhardware.net/review177_4_lian_li_pc_v354.html ) might give you a hint of the PSU/GPU clearance:

I think it looks like you'd get away with those distances. Do you know anyone who has a gpu waterblock they're not using currently?

Unfortunately not. I'll try to take some pictures after work, but it's really awkward. I guess that's the price to pay for a small case!
