Will it fit? 8800GTX SLI and Creative X-Fi?

I'm thinking about slamming 2 GTX8800s along with a Creative X-FI onto a EVGA 680i board. Will this fit? What about fans for my processor? I'd hate for this not to fit. My case is huge so I'm not worried about that I'm just concerned about the slots and my cooling options once everything is in there.
 
Unless you're using large heatsinks on the GTX's, yes, it will fit. But you could have looked at the board to see this for yourself pretty easily.

What about them? Be a bit more specific.
 
Thinking of the Thermalright Ultra 120 for cooling. I've read that this fits depending on which rev of the mobo I get.
 
Yes, it will fit in both configurations. However, you may need to use some small nylon washers or something of the sort to keep the backplate from making contact with protruding resistors on the back of the board.
 
I have an ASUS P5N32-E SLI board and 2x8800 GTX and an X-Fi fits like a glove.

You will need some breeze past there though. The bottom card has poor venting space and the lowest part of my case gets pretty hot. I put a 120mm fan in the window (lian-Li 6070) and it is cool as a cucumber now.

If you have any blank expansion slots in the case back, leave them open.
