Thick Pci-e Graphics Cards



I am thinking of building a new pc and have been looking at the x1800xt
graphics card (e.g. http://www.microdirect.co.uk/productinfo.aspx?
ProductID=11397 ). I would like the possibility of adding a second card at
a later date. The models i have seen come with an active cooling system
which blows air out the back of the machine. Is it possible to run two of
these cards in crossfire mode or would the cooling system block the second
Pci-e slot and/or allow enough air flow around the card?
If this is a problem which model/brand would you recomend.

Thanks,
.
