Probably not ,unless you aren't planning on having a cpu, or fans, or a hard drive. 104 watts is 8 2/3 amps, all by itself, and according to Silent PC Review, your psu has a maximum +12v output of 156 watts, which is 13A. I highly doubt the rest of your system would be capable of only having 4.33 amps of 12v power.

I am really not a fan of SLI type of systems, but with an X38 and under $200 price it just may make some sense.
They're available now, for $265. But I agree, at $199, Crossfire would actually not be a bad idea.
