Has anyone tried one of the Zalman fan brackets that mounts on the PCI slots to cool the memory on the right side of a board? I've been looking for pictures of one to see if it'll reach that far over to no avail.

Yes it will. Make sure you have a 92mm or 120mm. I use this solution right now to cool my RAM and my Northbridge heatsink. It works very well, even with a 7v modded 92mm fan. Silent (relative to hard drive noise) and good cooling.

Also, the fan has about an inch of rail spaces to move left and right so you can optimally position the fan's air flow over your RAM. Go for it.
 
My board is layed out a little differently than yours, so I may end up having to modify the bracket to get the fan further over.
 
My ram is about 12" awau from any PCI slots, with a Giant! CPU cooler in the way, so I think I am SOL in this department.
I think I am going to build a bracket, but would anyone be able to supply pics? I'll be doing a google search and post back if I find any.
