I can answer those for you...

1. That should be fine but im not familiar with the DDC pumps power draw. If it's really only 12w each thats only 1Amp so should be fine.
2. No there are no upgrade kits for the LT at this time.
3. I have Logitech G19 and peformance MX working fine with AE5XT. The Aquasuite 2012 beta 9 throws a few startup errors with my Track-ir 4 enabled though. That's a new problem that didnt exist previously for me, so hopefully the next firmware/beta will correct it.
4. No the poweramp is not compatible with AE5.If you need more than 1.65A per channel buy the slave Powersdjust 2 units which connect to the AE5 as additional channels. You can have up to 6 PA2's for a total of 10channels on the AE5. They link in series.

Thanks!
Yes it's modified DDC (diyhink) and they must consume 12W(1A) MAX. Maybe then they start, consume more. How do you think, small 40mm fan on AE5 heatsink would be enough ?
It's pretty sorry about lcd. AE5 pro/xt is expensive and modular

It would be very nice to have the opportunity to increase the functionality of AE5 gradually.
I've seen reports that the flash firmware AE5 with peripherals Logitech G-series are sometimes not possible. Is there any way around this?

I use a Corsair Ram fan to cool my PA2s so I guess anything simliar will do the job at a minimum of about 2500-3000rpm for smaller fans.

You could use a standard keyboard /mouse during flashing or do it externally with another PC.
