Hey all,

I'm looking to get an Antec 900 case, but I'm wondering if there will be enough room to fit 2 4890's comfortably. And will it dissipate the heat enough to keep the cards running comfortably.

Thanks in advance

2 4890's won't give you SLI, Crossfire perhaps but not SLI.

Definetely a go. Just make sure there's plenty of room on your motherboard.

They will most likely fit OK, but as I have issues with spending lots of cash on what is effectively a 'box' I would look for a cheaper alternative of similar size.

Two 4890 video cards will definitely fit.

I don't know, I had a problem with my 900 trying to fit 9800GT's in, I actually had to take all the wiring out to fit it in.
Turns out the cards didn't work in SLI :D

You won't be able to put any hard drive(s) in the bays directly adjacent to the 2 4890s, but apart from that I don't think you'll have any issues.
