Has anybody seen an "official" recommendation regarding video card height for this case? There is always mentioned that cards with a length of 11 inch will fit. But the case' height is 151mm, so it may have problems with the heat sink of some passive cards. The 6670 and GT440 (if passive) that you mentioned are both 130mm so this should fit. But the heat sink of the Sapphire seems to overlap to the back side of the card and may conflict with the mounting part of the optical drive (if you are going to use that).

(I have the GD04 sitting here and I could try to measure max video card height and distance to the od mounting part myself. But I guess this will not be very accurate. Would be nice to have kind of an official information about this)

If you have a GD04 already why don't you try it yourself! It's the same case, dimensions wise, as the GD05.
