Default New Motherboard

I currently have a FoxConn 45CMX mobo and it has served me well, but I'm having problems with putting all my extra cards in. I want to have both my video card and TV tuner card in at the same time, but my video card's heat sink is so large it covers the PCIx4 slot that my TV card uses so I have to shutdown my computer every time I need to record something or use the video card. I'm looking for a mobo that has a wide enough difference between the two slots that I can use them both, but haven't ran across one yet. Has anyone heard of one that I could use?

The new mobo needs to compatible with Core 2 duo LGA775 too.

Newegg.com - BIOSTAR TForce TP35D2-A7 LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

I don't know how much room you absolutely need, but you got some space in there.

here's a Micro mobo:

Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-MA69GM-S2H AM2 AMD 690G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards

the PCI x4 is on the other side of your x16 slot, so I think you'd be fine using this one, just not a very roomy motherboard :/

Newegg.com - ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards

I like that one, you can install your video card in your second PCIE x16 slot, and put your tv tuner card in that x4 slot with no problem I think

So there's a few options for you to look at, hope I'm a little bit of help
