Low Profile 1900XT cooling

Hey, I have a dillema. I would like to cool my 1900XT. Im using fans(no water cooling) so I dont know if liquid cooling would be possible for just the card. I wouldnt mind fan/heatsink option either, but does anyone know of a very slim/low profile cooling option? My mobo only has 3 PCI slots, this card currently because of the heatsink covers one PCI slot completely, and leaves no room in the second slot, leaving only one PCI slot left.
Im looking at this fan option as it is cheap, and seems like a good idea, but if there is something that could be put on the card to make it thinner and not block 2 PCI slots, and preferably not take up a PCI slot(like it looks like some liquid cooling things do) thatd be great. Thanks for your help.
Heres my first thought, but it would take up my only free PCI slot.

that would be a good option.
But a better option would be to change the heatsink of ur card.That'll void the warranty though.
The heatbuster is a good option otherwise.
