Apple Graphic Card

I ordered a new video card for my 3,1 Mac Pro and accidentally ordered the ver that doesn't say 'For Mac Pro' not realizing that there was any difference. It seems that the video card should work, if I could get it in my tower! The difference between the two ver seems to be the length and shape of its support arm(can't figure out what to call this part), the FOR Mac Pro ver is an inch or so shorter than the other one.
I saw someone suggest cutting it off with a hacksaw, which I'd really rather not do. So I was wondering if anyone has tried removing the arm/case part? It seems like it might work, but I'm concerned about it exposing any important parts, it is covered with the important legal stickers.
Or does anyone have ideas short of the hacksaw plan to get this bad boy to fit in the darn machine?

Sapphire Hd 5770

Mac Pro Subfamily. Default Video Card. NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT. 256 MB GDDR2 1 SL DVI 1 DL DVI. ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT. 256 MB GDDR3 2 DL DVI. NVIDIA GeForce GT 120. 512 MB GDDR3 1 Mini DP 1 DL DVI. ATI Radeon HD 5770. Would it be possible to flash a Radeon HD 5770 for PC with the ROM from the 5770 of the latest Mac Pro? I have such a Mac Pro Mid 2010 in my company and could try to extract the ROM. It would just be necessary to know, which card of which brand I need to buy. Maybe someone has done this before and has a kind of tutorial.
