ah.. I'm blind I actually have the 992.. I'm not sure that would all fit in the 992.

The 922 can fit those cards, because I mistakenly said I had the 932, when I have the 922. H70/h80/h100 all fit easily. The H100 radiator is mounted to the top of the case.

In any case I have stopped believing that it's worth it spending huge sums on money on source and amplification gear. My advice is to keep the Asus. As long as you don't hear any hissing at regular playback levels there is no practical reason to upgrade.
You might always upgrade just for the sake of upgrading.

Having invested thousands of dollars in source/amplification gear, I'd like to take the time to completely agree with this. If I could do it all over again I'd probably just go with Amarra, a powerful stereo amp and the Stradas/JH13s.

True - I am somewhat tempted by the Audeze LCD-2 which would likely require an amp to do them justice, but the issue is I can't find anywhere in the UK that stocks them!
 

The offical Audez'e UK dealer is Decent Audio (based in Stockton-On-Tees); that's where I purchased my LCD-2.

Cheers, sent one of their network stores an e-mail (HifiSound). Am going to pull the trigger tomorrow I think.

I hope that by 'pulling the trigger,' you mean you are buying headphones. 

 
Simon and co. at Decent Audio/HifiSound are a pleasure to do business with.
 
Wishing you health to enjoy the LCD-2.

Yeah the 922 will hold just as much.
 
If you want to upgrade cooling, skip the all-in-one "water" cooling setups and get a cheaper high end air cooler that will be much quieter and do a better job.
 
If you want to go real water, I can gladly help you on a budget setup that will blow any AIO kit out of the water.  (Pun intended )

Having a Corsair H60 and NH-D14 (Push-Pull-Pull, with the last pull being by a Nexus Basic 120mm) side-by-side, I can tell you that the cooling performance and noise isn't really all that different between them (though yes, the NH-D14 wins on both counts).
 
I think the Asetek kits get a lot of flak for no reason. Of course if I had to do it again I'd probably go with a Rasa kit.

I see a pair of Denon's and what look to be the housing of a Grado model. What models are those by chance?
 
EDIT: 325i's with GS1000i/PS1000 ear cups & a Denon D7000?

 

[lozanoa11]

D5000. The Grado's are not currently functional.

A small update to the setup, got rid of a monitor hid the keyboard's cable and got a new mic.

Nice minimalist set-up ljoy!
