I'm currently running on a Shuttle 569 and yes you may have problems
fitting more than 2 pci cards because of the placement of the CPU on
the board.  Using just a regular sized heatsink/fan combo on your CPU
is enough to block off placement of most cards into the 2 middle pci
slots, which left me 1 slot for my primary card, and 1 slot for my
Monster Voodoo II card which is just sitting a fraction of an inch'
away from my heatsink.  And I can just forget about running a pair
of Voodoos in SLI because the damn CPU is in the way!! :(
