GTX285 SLI /w accelero - which motherboard?

[ottosen]

Hey there,

I'm looking to buy two GTX 285 cards and throw on the Accelero GTX280 to cool them well and silently as I overclock them. This might be overkill?
For the record I'll be using the Noctua U12P on my CPU.

My question is this: Which motherboard can manage the size of 2 such graphic cards with the accelero on them? The whole thing will be thrown into the Antec P183, which does have one limit in the bottom, in the form of a plate that isolates the PSU from the rest of the case. I am of course open to suggestions for another case in the same price range.

So far, the only motherboard I have found that will fit this scenario is the ASRock X58 Supercomputer. Is this my best option?

Thanks in advance to anyone who might have some input or personal experience

Cheers,

Ottosen.

2X GTX 285 ???
It is not an overkill if you are running a 2560X1600 resolution screen...
But anything less, it is a serious overkill...
I would suggest instead of the GTX 285, the GTX 275s are better options as they offer nearly similar performance for about $100 less...

And as for mobo options,
ASUS P6T Deluxe V2

CASE - HAF 932 would be a good option...

A lot of people recommend EVGA for the placement of the video card slots.
