I am building a new system and i want to do gtx 285 sli. I was thinking about getting the p6t deluxe v2 but i was concerned that 2 of the sata ports may be blocked by such large graphics cards. the ports im talking about are the 2 facing up. would an sli gtx285 configuration block those ports, or would they be accessible between the 2 gfx cards? let me know what you think.

those ones are clear, they would be above the pcb on the lower card, and well below the cooler on the upper card
 
it won't block them but it will be very unconfortable to play around with them... even one card is an anoyance with the sata ports, but considering how long it takes to take them out, put the cables and put the cards back in... it's a pain but nothing more
