Can two 8800GTX fit into the Antec 900 using a P5N32-E MOBO? Any concerns with air flow with such a setup? Will be using BT as CPU cooling on a E6600. Thanks.

You shouldn't have any problems. Just be sure to have nice powerful fans for intake and you'll be good to go

Yeah you should be ok. The cooling properties of this case are more than enough. From a review of this case it did state that you need to remove the additional fan bracket from the HDD cage for long graphics cards in sli like the 8800 series cards

Which one is the additional fan bracket? Does anybody has a picture of it?

It sounds kinda troublesome too, what about the P180? Would that have a easier time to fit?

I have antec 900 and would bet anything that they would fit fine, and have great airflow. And you should remove that thing anyways. I don't even know what it is, it think it turns the 5.25 bays to the smaller ones. Useless, and blocks my airflow, i simply took it out and kept the fan in.

The answer to that question is yes.
If i remember correctly the front cover is attatched to that metal box thingy for 3.5 " devices. U can take out the metal box thing, take off the cover, and re atatch them.

Don't worry about this case man, it's just some extra stuff they put in there. It's an excellent case and i love it to death. The best airflow i have ever seen, so much that i need to get a filter or two for the front. And it's on sale now if u have seen that post in these forums. Buy the antec 900, and u will have no regrets.

ok, my only concern now is my 4 pin. my 4 pin is located at the top of my mobo just right of the I/O panel. my 4 pin is 23 1/2" long. so i'm hoping that is long enough to reach and give me some slack to conceal it somewhat.
