SFF and video cards?

Been thinking about building my next rig as a SFF but the video card issue comes to mind. I'm guessing you can't (or hardly) fit a full-sized video card in there?

And are there any other restrictions apart from CPU Heatsink I should be made aware of? Might start with a barebone system and move on from there.

I've had my X800 in my fiancee's shuttle no problem, and it's a big card.

Size isn't generally the issue, it's the fact that the gpu fan is almost hard against the inside of the case. Get a card that doesn't run too hot and has a nice skinny cooler and you're laughing.

System Specs

Just built a shuttle 478 AGP system for the wife talk about nice case. And yes the Graphics card fits just nicely. She has the same as me an x800 pro. I will say that it will be a major change as my wife is LOVING the quiet case.
