I also have some questions to ask.
1/  The 620 W PSU offered by DS look a little bit " weak" for a SLI config.
      Should I go for the 750W PSU instead?
2/  I have read somewhere in this forum that 2 8800GT will give out a lot
     of heat. But since I do not overclock anything, is the heat an issue for
     this case? From what I know, the Twister Pro Case comes w/only 2
     fans.
3/ I uses High Speed Internet by SBC Yahoo. The antivirus/antispyware
     etc... are from CA. I also have an antispy call Spybot search & destroy.
    Unfortunately, both lack a good firewall. The McAfee offered by DS does
    not work w/ Vista. What kind of Antivirus/Spyware/Firewall you guys
    use for your computer?
 
 
    Thank you very much for your time.

Corsair PSUs are made by Seasonic and they are one of the best in the business. It won't let you down. SLI GT uses ~200W while your Q6600 uses ~100W (these are on load). The reality is most people never use more than 400W.

You can add additional fans to the case if you feel that heat might be a problem.

I highly recommend nod32, it's the best one out there by far.
