You are right. They don't have 90 or 45 degrees though

I'll have to see how everything fits in and then determine if I can get away without any 45/90 degree fittings. And no 3/8id 1/2od. Hmmmm.

Probs. The silverstone is just what I have at the moment. I needed to replace it with the ax1200 on my 4p to get some better efficiency goin.

I think it would be better to get two PSUs;
The wattage is fine.
The problem is usually amperage.

The GTX8800 is within 24-28A range.
This PSU has +12V1@25A, +12V2@25A, +12V3@25A, +12V4@25A, +12V5@25A, +12V6@25A
While this PSU has +12V1@40A, +12V2@80A

Look around and make sure your GPUs (all 4 of them...) are getting enough amps.

Already have a PSU. Ok then
