    I like how it looks, I take it it looks less blue IRL? :P

    A nice fix for the sound card would be going for Schiit!

    If only ASUS still made that white Essence STX.

    I can't for the life of me find it... :/

    Hopefully the next AMD flagship is a littler smaller so that I can eventually make use of my new case that's just collecting dust!
    Where did you route the cable for your AIO pump? I have the Corsair Hydro H60 and the cable sticking out the CPU looks ugly as hell

    Yeah, it does. It looks better IRL

    I know... I might think that one over. Although the case is under my desk anyway. But it is bothering me a bit...

    Plenty of black wireless cards on the market, but I can't be bother to buy a new one. Besides, this one is working amazing

    But most important thing, everything is working perfectly

    That's good!

    What I will say about going Schiit on your desk...

    You don't need to reach under/behind your computer (which for some at least is cumbersome!) to plug in or unplug your headphones.

    Me personally? I have my Schiit on my desk and if I want to use my speakers (priority) I just keep headphones unplugged, want to use headphones? Plug 'em into the front of the Asgard 2 and it routes audio to that instead of the speakers - though I wish I could have both running at the same time sometimes, specifically if I ever drummed again. :P Don't have my old school Sony stereo systems anymore. ;o

    The soundcard has a dedicated headphone port So all I have to do to change from headphones to boxes is to click a slider

    Still, I don't miss having headphone cables going down between my legs or whatever and getting tangled. Unless you got the Creative card with the external port that you can sit on your desk?

    I don"t have that one. But the cable is going up behind my desk, and then just lays on my desk. So I have no danger of running over them

    Only reason for me to get something like the schiit, would be higher sound quality and the ugly red card out of my black/white build

    Because of abuse from co-habitants of my apartment in the past year I was sort of leaning towards getting a new case from my Corsair 540 Air and bought the Corsair 400Q. I have to say I'm happy with it, the only downside is the cable management behind the MOBO plate because of the noise dampening foam beign too thick.

    and Put together

    Why in the world would you try that.

    Indeed it is. That Noctua definitely brings the enthusiasm level up a notch.
