At-least a clever PC case that blow hot air at top ! Way more effective, what the case name ? You use the best fans also.

 

[Dreaming Of A Better ...]

looks like Silverstone Fortress FT-02, as for noctua fans i prefer Gentle Typhoons, cheaper, quieter, move slightly more air and are easier on the eyes (and yes i used noctua fans before)

gentle typhoon looks on paper to have slightly lower airflow than Noctua NF-S12B ULN but potentially has better static pressure (purely by looking at the propeller design) and probably transmits less vibration into the case.  They are also not marone and beige - a big advantage 

.  I may have to try these out at some point.  I find some of my Noctua fans operate noisily when not fixed securely in some locations.  My setup is pretty quiet right now (11 dB or less) but I will probably try to improve it once I get my USB transport sorted.

Cool room mate - and very nice rig....

Ah, the good old Leben CS-300X.
It is the amp of my dreams, but I can only dream of having one for now.

Why do you use a HD650 with the Leben, though. Isn't it time to upgrade your can to e.g. and HD 800 or any other flagship?

yup its a ft-02.  I couldnt be happier with the Noctua.  I'm running a overclocked i7 2600k at 4.5ghz and I'm lucky if the processor gets over 50-55C during gaming.  The only drawback which someone mentioned is the color which doesnt really bother me im worried about how the computer performs most of all.

You should put some pads or stands under the speakers.

Yep, can't beat good old Viennese engineering.

BugleBoy, that is just gorgeous, but I echo Tilpo's inquiry. A CS300X for the HD650 seems a tad odd.

 

[revolink24]

I suspect the CS300X is for the speakers.

 

[Nom de Plume]

That did cross my mind, and you're probably right.

I love retro gear  that's why I went for McIntosh. But that Leben is way cool...

Actually this is a HD-600 I bought 12 years ago! What can I say...I am still in love with it

. With the Leben I don't feel like I am missing out on anything through these cans...they are utterly intoxicating. But i suspect I can do better
 
Hence, i started my search for a new pair of cans few weeks back...that's how I stumbled on head-fi forum. Have to say the collective knowledge on this forum is staggering...I am getting wiser everyday.
 
As of now I have shortlisted the HD-800 snd the LCD-2...leaning more towards the LCD-2.

Agree 100%. I am looking out for a pair of table top stands (no more than 12cm in height). Cant find these anywhere here in Sydney, Australia.
 
I suspect this may have to be DIY project.

Thanks Nom de Plume. As per my response to Tilpo...I am looking out for a new pair of headphone. Though I still like the Leben / HD-600 combo.

I use the Leben as both speaker and Headphone amp. To me these Lebens are the most musical instrument/s (hate to call them an electronic amplifier) I have heard...dare I say at any price point.
