It might be possible. What make and model is that 460W power supply?

The video card accessory pack should have a 2 x molex to 1 x PCI-e power cable.
That would allow you to get power to the 2nd 9600GT.

You need to know how many Amps the +12v rail(s) provide to know if the PSU can support 2 9600GTs.

States that your case *should* be SLI certified, Cooler Master PSU's are know to be very good PSU's, but 460 is pretty low. The cards you are SLI'ing don't need a whole ton of power........ Although if it is SLI certified, it should have 2 PCIe power conections, I would think?
