XBee sizes

I have an EeePC that I have stripped specifically for my Ardupilot Mega Groundstation. I will be getting the telemetry parts at the end of the month hopefully so I have about 2 weeks to get my coding right.
I was however wondering if I could take my modifiying one step further and fit the XBee in the expansion bay in the back.
The bay is 68x38x9mm so is easily large enough for the dimension of both Xbee and he Xtreme boards but what about the depth. At ony 9mm I would not be able to use the spacers usually used but using some male stand-off I coud solder them much closer together. This would hopefully briing the height down to 9mm or less but as I haven't bought them yet I was hoping for some assistance.

Can someone with these fine pieces of tech (Xtreme board and XBee 900) measure their depth (components included)?

  • depth is under 1/2" slightly. (of the two boards together. if you include antenna plug debth is slight over 1/2".

    When i say slightly i mean less than 1/16 of an inch over or under.
