I've posted on 7 other forums, and they don't seem to be able to help, neither can Nvidia or ATI

I'm building a GFX card block that I wish to sell, to do this, I need to know how to mount it.

I'm also aware that different cards have different mounting specs, not only dependant on the chip we're using, but who makes the card. ( eg. a GF4 Ti4200 from Gainward my be different from a GF4Ti4200 from Abit )

I need to have a mounting system universal to as many cards as possible. Companies produce fans to fit many different types of cards, but they will not respond to me.

For example, I know that to fit some cards, holes 80mm apart is the way to go, but in the case of a fan, it doesn't matter which way up the fan goes, so the angle in between the holes is unimportant. However, on a waterblock, with barbs pointing in a fixed direction, towards the top of the card, it becomes more complex.

Can anyone help at all?

I need the mounting hole positions and intersecting angles for Nvidia cards from GF3 onwards, and ATI cards from 8500 onwards.

Please help if you can, most helpfull response wins a free block, honest.
