At its core the XPC SN26P is powered by NVIDIA’s most advanced chipset, the nForce4 SLI. This gives the system enthusiast level performance features including full support for AMD socket 939 processors, SATA 3Gb/s hard drives with RAID, and gigabit Ethernet with hardware acceleration and firewall. 7.1 channel surround sound is enabled by the popular Via Envy24PT audio processor. The barebone has been approved to be compatible with NVIDIA GeForce 7 series graphics cards in SLI configuration, a list of compatible cards is available on the Shuttle website. The barebone will not require the specially designed SLI heat-pipe cooler as seen in prerelease models.The XPC SN26P has begun shipping around the world and should be available in stores in less than one week.

Jake-
Space on the over hand could be a problem, don't think you'd be able to fit in two cards with big heatsinks/fans.
Yes, small form factor PCs are very ideal for taking to.. and uhm, from LAN parties.
However, I really don't like the idea of having two graphics cards right next to each other. The first card's airflow is going to be blocked off by the second card. Obviously Shuttle will have tested this but it still means that one card is going to be hotter than the other. I don't know, maybe I'm just being a little over-paranoid
On the subject of water-cooled SFF systems - yes they're actually quite common. In fact, I'm surprised no manfacturer has decided to sell one with watercooling as standard yet ...
