My friend got 2 680s at a screaming deal, so he's throwing together a gaming pc. I was just wondering if there will be any space issues for the 2x 680s in this case

That's not good case for SLI (IMO)

maybe... that looks so small. standard 680s MIGHT fit... they might smash into the hard drive rack.

extra long 680s definitely wont unless you guys hack the hard drive cage out of there.

either way, running 680s in SLI needs some serious airflow if you're taxing the cards... better load it up with high CFM fans in the front and on the side panel. (not the fans that are $10 for a 4pack)

bigger question, does he have a 1000watt power supply? lol

Have a look at the NZXT 210, its a pretty good case with potential for very good airflow with the amount of fans it can support.

Thank you for all the information and suggestions. I'll relay it all to my friend. I think he already bought his psu. Is 750w gold good enough for sli?

Depends on PSU's quality, what PSU has he bought?
750W is more than enough for 680's SLI :)
