PSU will be upgraded when the cards are out.
As for cooling, 80- 90c is a little hot, but most of it will be put out the back of the case. Not like they will ship cards with inadequate cooling for stock speeds.
Space isnt an issue in my case.

Any of these PSU's would "scoff" at the monster that is the R700!
Corsair 1000HX
Antec TruePower Quattro 1000
OCZ EliteXStream 1000
Personally I'm going for the Corsair 1000HX. I got a lot of crap to toss into my system.

You dont need a CF board to run an X2 afaik.. I could be wrong though..
Edit: Unless he wanted to run two of them...

You can run X2 on any board, for 2 you need a CF board.

Man, I really want to see Age of Conan running on a 4870x2 @ 1920x1200.
Must look insane.

For those of you interested in this card and not wanting to blow buko bucks on a high end PSU, I just spoke with Thideras. He recommended the Corsair 620HX to me, so it should be good for a setup similar to mine also.
E8500 @ 4.2ghz
Asus P5Q Deluxe
4 modules Gskill (8GB)
4870x2
X-Fi Sound Card
3 HDD's
9 120mm Fans (8 yateloons, 1 old Panaflo U1A)
1 MCP655 Water Pump
1 Fan Controller
1 Dvd-Burner
2 Cathodes
The overall wattage under full load of this card will probably be in the 225-275w range. As Anandtech reported about 406.9w (total system) under full load of power draw.

406.9 is total system load power draw ... thats everything in the computer case, cpu, video card, ram, hdd's, everything ...
4870x2 in xfire ... you would probably need around an 700w-ISH psu. The Corsair TX750 would probably do the trick nicely.
Ya, I had to figure that out earlier hehe, I'm so excited to see what type of water blocks they come out with for this monster and how fast they do it!
