I use the heatsink / fan that was shipped with the Hetis 965.

Yes there is not a lot space between the heatsink ans the video card. I think a ATI 3850 will not fit into the system.

The noise level is for me really great. But that may be the problem, I find it great and it is not acceptable for you? Noise is very subjective. The noise I can hear should be from the CPU fan, but I never investigated this since I did not have any problems with this "noise". This noise does not annoy me, why wasting time?

I don't know since I'm currently not at home till the end of the week. There are additional fans in this case since the slimline case have a temperature problem if there are not enough fans. I guess there are two addional fans in this case. Check out the manual for further information of the fan sizes the positions of the fans. It is very well described in this manual.

But if you need the size you can estimate this since there is the known width of the ODD and / or the size of the HDD. I guess it is a 75mm or 80mm fan, but I'm not sure.
But from what I read I guess the Hetis 965 is not the right barebone for you since the desired video board will not fit, I'm very sure in this point. I also found an additional picture of the case of my PC on my digital camera. Ther you see that there are also holes on the "top" of the case (in this case the top of the case is the left side since the case is upright on this special stand. I marked the ventilation holes for the CPU fan red)
I think you may find a better barebone if you check out the Shuttle Barebones! Mose of the Shuttle Barebones does not have any problems with the size of the video board.
