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... :/

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
Not actually put this in my system yet, been busy however did try attempt to install this in my system while drunk... as you can see it didn't happen.
Also built a system for my nephew using some of my old unused parts;
I5 3570K.
Asus Z77 board, low end but forgot the model now.
8GB of team group ram.
and an unused hyper evo cooler.
Case, PSU and SSD are all new to the build'
Fractal arc midi 2
Cooler master G550 M
Crucial BX200 250 GB SSD
The gpu that will go in here and will be installed in the near future, at the moment just using the igp of the cpu for the moment.
Also I should add my nephew is 11, lucky bugger really, things I do for family.
I will say this however, the case is really bloody nice, thinking of getting it my self and was a good deal on Ebuyer at £55.
Case:Aerocool aero 800
Motherboard:Z170A Gaming M5
CPU:Intel Core i7-6700k @ 4.0ghz
GPU:Evga GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition
RAM:2x Kingston HyperX 8GB DDR4 2400mhz
SSD:Samsung 850 Evo 500GB
ASUS VX248H 24' 1ms Monitor
Logitech G105 Keyboard
Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury Gaming Mouse
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.
