I see you posted the pics like 15 minutes ago! I had just uploaded images to picasa hehehttp://lh3.ggpht.com/_jQqDYtapwzE/TB0xgffQGPI/AAAAAAAAEdQ/YxwyZzhXhI0/IMG00069-20100618-1858.jpghttp://lh3.ggpht.com/_jQqDYtapwzE/TB0xf5Oy9jI/AAAAAAAAEdM/0BY1x2tKnQ4/IMG00072-20100618-2018.jpgyou have a really slim profile board there! cant even see the cap. you may trim it down a bit by hacksawing (or dremel) some parts of board's side.like this:

You may even go further! As you may have some skills with soldering iron, you could cut this board to a third of what it is now (just the IC + room for caps and all data lines) and solder directly 34awg wires to data lines. that would make it go waay smaller.i'll start my vacations by tuesday... then i'll open mine and trim it slimmer too!
