If i was to add another EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS later on would the tagan psu give enough power for them both to run ok.

I *think* the Soprano has very similar dimensions to my Tsunami, which can only just fit a 7900GTO in (blocking 2 of 5 hard drive bays). So I'd be tempted to say it won't fit in.

As for the PSU, if you're looking to add a further card in the future, you want to be looking at 600W+, the Corsair probably being the best around at the moment

What about this case is this a better bet
