Hi,
I'm building a desktop system based around a Shuttle XPC SZ87R6:

In terms of the physical space available for the graphics card, it's maximum 267mm x 98mm x 34.6mm and the space available from the under side of the PCB is just 5mm:

I would like it to be quiet, so want a passively-cooled card if possible. It needs to have two DVI outputs. Beyond that I don't know anything about graphics cards and don't intend to play any particularly taxing games, so anything with performance better than the CPU's integrated graphics will probably be acceptable.
So, could anyone suggest a suitable card that will actually fit?
This is quite tricky, because if you take something like a Zotac GeForce GT 610 then its specs say
Height: 68.91mm
Width: 144.78mm
(http://www.zotac.com/fileadmin/Redakteure/Products/Pdf/master_zt-60603-20l_gt-610-zone_v1_3.pdf)
which sounds fine until you realise that the heatsink curves up over the top of the card to the under side thus will not fit in the 5mm gap between the bottom of the PCB and the rear fan unit.
Thanks!
