Adaptec 5 series raid card? Auzentech Forte? Asus Xonar Essence STX for headphones? Get proper headphones/speakers while you're at it? :D

The Asus MB only has PCIe x16 slots so it does limit the options, and if that didn't the two watercooled GTX295's pretty much keep out anything else. I did manage to sneak the controller board for the pump, fans etc in between the video cards. That tubing takes up a ton of space. Were I to do it again, I might consider 3/8" id tubing, no idea how much of a performance loss (if any) I'd take though. No room at all for a raid card. Don't think there are any PCIe x16 sound cards . . .

Just build another room on to your house and build a computer out of it and use dual window AC units for cooling.

Can you imagine him trying to cross a border with that in the trunk of his car?
