Do you have to have a case? Can you leave it open and get some fans pointed at it?

Don't go with that. You need at least 8 pci slots.

antec one hundred is cheap and has 8 slots...but you certainly want to have no side panel and a fan blowing cool air there...

I put 4 cards to my HAF 932. Power supply unit moved to the top of the case, top cooler - outside the case.

I've ran 1x 5970 and 1x 5870 on the AX750 or 1x 5970 and 2x 5870 on the OCZ ZX1000 before. I'm sure 1200 would be more than enough.

I'm use two PSU - 1200W inside case for 2 video cards, MB, HDD and so on, and 1000W outside case for 2 video cards.
