1. Up to you.
2. 5970 is the antithesis of quiet.  It is brutally loud.  It also generates immense heat.  2 going at full bore will easily increase the temp in your office by 10-20 degrees.  Only option is watercooling or accelero 5970 (if you can find one).
3. One, yes.  Two 5970s, not reliably.

Thanks. Yeah, I was worried about the noise and the heat. Sad

What if I were to switch to a different GPU? Are there any options out there that would work with the above setup and possibly not make my office a sauna?

I could go up to the COOLER MASTER Silent Pro Gold Series RSA00-80GAD3-US 1000W for the PSU, but it's $199. Any decent 1000W options between the one listed above and this one? $135 is quite the price jump...

I may just have to bite the bullet and have it at the house.
