This is what I was thinking of doing when I buy a desktop and the Indeed G2 and Nuforce uDAC 2 get here. The uDAC is taped to the underside of the table next to the slot-in bluray drive, and I  guess I don't have to point out where the G2 is.
 


Ok now with 100% less lameness and 100% weird compression artifacts. I like my future desktop already :3

Go for it Pocketrocket. That will look fantastic and clean when done. Show us pics of the complete set up when you have finished.

Why thank you, I'm using Blender 2.5, it's an open-source 3D modeling and animation suite. Those renders are nothing compared to what you can really do with it, but I didn't apply any proper materials or textures and the render is a quickie so the realism is what it is. And oh, it might be a month or four before I actually buy that desktop, since I'm waiting for Bulldozer and AMD HD 6000 series to bring down the prices of current gen stuff.

Apologies in advance for the horrible quality.  The light in my bedroom is one-directional and dim and all I've got is my cell phone camera.  Hopefully the explanations of what you're looking at will help.

You should invest in an amp for your 650.

I think you need a headphone stand or hangar for your HD650s darthgator14! Seriously the headband paint has a tendency to become chipped on those. An amplifier wouldn't hurt either, look into the Valhalla.

I know I know. I need an amp. However funds are quite low right now. Building a high end pc, buying HD650's, and playing hockey = one expensive summer. Hopefully within the next few months I'll be able to afford one.
 
I do have a stand for my 650's though. Its just on my entertainment stand. I only use my headphones when I'm listening to music at my computer. Most of the time I have them hooked up to my home theater. Here's a pic:
 

 
Also heres a pic of the inside of my computer:
