I cant find much about the case,

Theres a handy picture or two, showing a 8800GT fits and not much else.

As for the cooler height, theres a 80mm fan in the floor infront of the motherboard, it looks close to the side of the case. I speculate around 100mm for the cooler.

I do know that an AC Freezer 7 won't fit, it's too tall, I just put the stock AMD heatsink back in.

I also had a 198mm(just measured it for you) single slot 9800gt 'greenpower' card in too before I changed the mb/cpu to an A6, the size of the psu matters(also where the psu cables come out) as well, as the gpu will be very close to it.

As the 470 is ~242mm, I very much doubt that it will fit, but I'm only going from memory.

You have to remember that the Elite 360 is really an HTPC case as well.

Hope that's some help to you.

You could fit a 570 in there no problem. But you may have a problem with a melting sidepanel.
