We present the first computations of quasi-equilibrium sequences of compact binaries containing two strange quark stars (which are currently considered as a possible alternative to neutron stars). We study a precoalescing stage in the conformal flatness approximation of general relativity using a multidomain spectral method. A hydrodynamical treatment is performed under the assumption that the flow is irrotational.4 pages, 2 PostScript figures, to appear in the Proceedings of the SF2A 04, Paris, FranceGeneral Relativity and Quantum Cosmologytext
