Bracket question for AM2

[WormBuffet]

I'm ready to purchase a new AM2 motherboard from Asus. Naturally it is the next best innovation but I don't like the whole new cage design that I keep seeing.It wouldn't matter to me if you could use other coolers on it but completely removing compatibility with all other coolers makes no sense.

The thing is I just recently purchased a Blue Orb II for my A8N-Sli Deluxe and would like to continue it over to my new motherboard. I now the 939 solution is out of the picture but does anyone know who has one if maybe bending the 775 bracket or maybe just leaving it the way it is would work? Any other ideas on how to mount it would be great. Thanks.

Yeah, it would be hard riggin' something like that. You could upgrade to a Zalmon AM2 fan

Zalman CNPS9500-AM2 Silent CPU Cooling Kit

Or maybe positioning the backplate diagonally across the screw holes? most likey wouldn't work, but you could give that a shot.
