Hopefully.

Thanks for reply

Well if you think about it, from the pictures you can see the card is the length of an ATX Mobo + about a centimeter and the Antec 900 has a good inch or so between the mobo and whatever is there (HD's I think) so unless you are running loads you could just move them out of the way, also with the power cables now going in the outside (eg like Nvidia do now) there is no reason for it not to fit.

Any ideas/guesses as to what temperatures we're likely to see from these monsters?

double that i would just waited as even 5850 will probably outperform your two 4890, should ring them an cancel your order they will understand only less then two weeks till new cards

lol no one has any idea, could 100* idle

but id imagine since they show 4 working with no fan sucking out air it should be all good.

hope its cooler than my 4850s, idle is rouhgly 50-65 idle.

DAM those boards take very little power to run people could theoreticly run 4 of them on a 700w psu LOL
just the power alone i can see these cards running very good temps.

Your right. One thing I read, but forgot about was the power cables going in from the side. That will help a lot.

Looking forward to some reviews now. If a 5870 can match a 4870 x2 then I think I might not be able to resist. I was tempted to get a 4870 x2 once I got my 30" Dell, but I would have needed a new PSU and new Mobo, as my one is not PCIE 2, and to be honest I am still able to play most my games at max res with the single so I decided its not worth it.

I am looking forward to Mass Effect 2, and would love to play that at 2560x1600. So will probably need 5870 for that.

does look real nice.
