P6T Deluxe and HR-05 IFX/SLI

I'm going to be purchasing a Silverstone FT02 in the new year and wanted to take advantage of its airflow effect by placing larger heatsinks on the NB, SB and mosfets of my P6T Deluxe V2. My concern is that with a GTX 280 and TRUE or Megahalems that the sinks might not fit in. My main concerns are the HR-05 IFX to go on the NB and SB. I was planning to place an IFX/SLI on the SB to give room for the video card, a straight IFX squeezed next to the CPU heat sink and the recommended mosfet sinks. The mosfets should fit without a problem. Has anyone seen, heard of or done this? I think it would be a great improvement, especially seeing how the standard heat pipes can't realy take advantage of the airflow of the new case where the fins of the HR-05 would catch the airflow well. They will also be passively cooled, I'm not going to put fans on.
