Case - Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail

Okay, now I've got a couple of questions.

The Antec should be able to fit everything in it, right? I ordered it early to get the rebate and I won't be able to return it if I mail in the rebate.

Also, is the PSU enough to handle the two GT's?

And one last final last question, if I order one GT now and then order another in about a month (due to a limited budget at the moment), I should just be able to pop the second one in and run no problem right?

I'll most likely be ordering within the week so hopefully I'll be up and running soon. Thanks for all the help from this forum by the way; I definitely wouldn't have been able to do it without all you friendly people helping.
 
That's a really nice system you got, going there.

That Antec, can fit everything nicely.

And the PSU has more than enough power, plus some...

About just popping in the graphic card, I'm not sure, as I've never dealt with SLI.
 
@ b1gapl - Okay thanks for the info. I'll go ahead and send in the rebate. $75 Antec 900 ftw!

@ vernong1992 - Ah okay. So put it in, put on the SLI bridge and go. I won't have to change anything in BIOS or anything like that as long as I get the same clocked card right?

Hey i got a like new creative sound blaster audigy 4...ill give it to you for $20shipped. PM if your interested.
 
You don't have to change nothing in BIOS, after you plop in the card, when you boot up into windows, if should have a bubble pop up saying you can SLi, but if not when you install drivers, you go to the controls for the drivers, and you have to enable SLi, lemmie search for a guide real quick
This should be it
 
oh ya.. no need for soundcards.. if u want one.. just get the X-Fi Extreme ones... but.. you shound consider the one that KrazyQ is selling.. cuz its definitely a bargain..
