Questions about the HiperMedia HTPC case

Just a few questions i got

Just wondering if anyone has one of these here...

Can you fit an AGP GFX card and a TV TUNER PCI card at the same time using 2 risers?

Does your system overhead that much?

I was thinking of a SKT939 Venice - 3200 maybe and a R9800. Would i encounter overheating problems?

Sorry for bumping this thread but i need to know some stuff..

Has anyone every been able to mod this case to allow the use of 2 expansion cards(1 gfx card, 1 pci card) succesfully?

I can't seem to find the right motherboard for this case as i need TVout on board to allow me to use the 1 expansion slot for a tv tuner card...

Would i have to cut holes as big as the pci plate? you can see some pics here:http://www.bit-tech.net/review/388/1

Ok i have moded the case by drilling a small hole to allow the tv out adaptor to come through.

This is the system i built in to it - :

AMD Opteron 146 SK939(Cooled by a coolermaster 1u 939 cooler)
512MB DDR400
MSI-RS482M4-ILD
Hauppauge PVR150MCE - i hear these run hot

I was thinking of getting a small 40mm fan to cool down the inside of the case but i am unsure where to mount/ how to mount it without drilling more holes. All i can think of is cable ties but maybe that is not suitable.
