I am looking for some feedback on this build.  I also have a few questions.
1. enough power for sli?
2. Pro case do suffecient cooling for this set up or is there a need to change?  I read that the 8800gt 512's run pretty hot and with 2 of em it will be even hotter.
3. RAM...will 800mhz be able to get the most out of this machine and a good OC?
 
looking at using this rig on a samsung 22".  anyone use this monitor? good bad ugly?

Definitely enough power.
 
If you want a higher OC and can afford it go with 2gb x 1066mhz.
 
Call about adding an extra fan or two, the pro case runs a bit warm when it's under a full load with just a single card so I assume that SLI will be worse.
 
Also the new Rivatuner is out and you can adjust the GPU's fan speeds. Apparently the default is 29% so you can raise it to %75 and keep it nice and cool.
