Antec Nine Hundred with Crossfire 4870's

[darkmatter7]

Hey quick question. I just finished and ordered my gaming PC build. I'm hoping everything will be fine, but shadowduck just said in a post that 2 4870's in an antec nine hundred case will be a tight fit. Will it work?!

Antec 900 is huge enough to fit 2 HD4870s. Don't worry!
Of course it is a little tight, but antec 900 is one of the biggest midtower cases there are on the market.
You won't have any problem there mate.

I did see one report of what might be a heat issue.

i have 2 88000gt's inm that case no problem unfortunately their single slot cards so the cooling isnt the most effcient however turn the fans up to 50% and thier stable at 50 degrees\

Phew... I got worried there for a second. I put so much research into this rig, wouldn't want to learn now that I have to change parts. Well, thanks guys. Is there anywhere on tomshardware to post pics of the build process? Everyone on this forum has been so much help, I want to give back a bit.

Cool, I would really appreciate that. My nine hundred is set to arrive tomorrow, with the bulk of the components arriving the next day. What sort of specs did you pair up with your 2 X 4870's?
