Anybody know if this card:

would fit in this case?

I want a passive video card for the HTPC build I'm planning out, and this seems to be the most poweful one I can find with a chance of fitting.

Eyeballing this picture, it looks like it might fit, but I think it's a gamble.

Yeah it can fit full-size graphics cards up to 11 inch long.

I know the length isn't going to be an issue, it's the height that I'm worried about. Seems that most full size passively cooled cards have heatpipes that protrude above the PCI bracket.

That case is overpriced at newegg, $30 cheaper at amazon or the new version for $2 more.

Well my point was that 11 inch long graphics cards are not going to be low profile, so any full size GPU should fit.

With regard to the heat pipes, I wouldn't worry. Judging by eye, it should fit:

it should fit. i've used similar parts together (lc-17, 20 and xfx 7950gt) before, and the silverstone cases with 80mm fans above the rear connectors allow for heatpipes to wrap over the top of the card. the xfx even had some fins on the top edge, but it still (barely) cleared it.
