I'm planning on getting two GTX 260's (192 cores) SSC editions, with a Core 2 Quad Q9550 which I will overclock to about 2.9Ghz < 3Ghz. However, I don't want to spend too much money on a high end case, so will the Asus TA-M11 case, with two 120mm fans on its side (one for each graphics card), one 120mm at the back, and I will add another 120mm fan at the front to serve as an intake fan, be enough to cool these components?
In case you want to know, here's the exact spec:

C2Q Q9550 @ 2.9Ghz < 3Ghz
2 x EVGA GTX 260 (192 cores) SSC in SLI
XFX 680i LT
Corsair TwinX (2x2GB)
Seagate ST3320613AS Barracuda (320GB)
High Power 800W (80 Amps)

My guess, Yes. I had a look inside the case(via google) and the case doesn't look too bad at all.

It looks to have an area for long video cards between the side mounted hard drive bays.

OK, how about this Silverstone Precision case? There aren't any fans on the side, but I'll add one 120mm fan at the top, one at the front for intake, and the case comes with a 120mm rear exhaust fan.

If it were me, I would stick with the Asus. I like lots of fans.

also here is the pic of the interior. Since Ebuyer doesn't show it.

Of course if you can spare an extra £10, The CoolerMaster Centurian 590 is a better cooling case then both the Siverstone and Asus.
