Assuming the electrical connections in the cables remain the same (and everything the improved cables do is more shielding/tighter tolerances on wire twists and length), it would be cool to see if @LinusTech $1000 HDMI cable is capable handling 48G throughput.

If the keyboard was with an ISO/Nordic layout, that would be my favorite - it looks very subtle, unlike most new mechanical keyboards. But I guess I will have to stick with headset in that case, they seem very comfortable and that finish looks very nice.

The displayed price of the item isn't everything. Also check the shipping costs, which are usually displayed during checkout. Then at customs they might want an import duty + VAT for your item so make sure to take those into account as well (hint: http://www.dutycalculator.com/) -
Topic that was posted yesterday should answer most of your questions: http://www.hydrogenaud.io/forums/index.php?showtopic=109807 Start with medium and then try higher or lower. What you should look for is audio levels, it should be louder with one and quieter with the other at the same level. Pick the one that is most comfortable for you and preferably doesn't damage your hearing if volume is accidentally set to 100%

Just disassembled an old PC, look what I found

My guess is that it is a Socket A CPU, clean up the thermal compound and most likely you'll find the numbers you are looking for there. -
Use it for a compile server.

The liquid cooling because of that temperature controlled RGB LED.

Both are great cards - excellent performance. Can't wait for the SLI video.

It looks pretty.

Short answer is yes: since Hyper-V is a hypervisor, it is at very core of the whole operating system which is an extra layer between you and the hardware (although, hypervisor is VERY close to hardware). This means that the system you are referring to as "host" is actually also a guest which is nearly equal to the other guest operating systems you are running alongside with that system. The architecture illustration might explain it better than I can. However, Microsoft has made the process of enabling Hyper-V quite seamless and unless you know where to look, most of the times you really can't tell that there is a hypervisor running (which is the point). So depending on your usage - you might not even notice the difference. I don't have any numbers to back this up so feel free to conduct your own tests. General advice: If you like and use Hyper-V, keep it enabled. However, if you aren't using it at all or are experiencing problems, better turn it off. Also when diagnosing hardware issues, I'd suggest turning it off, because programs such as CPU-Z and Aida64 are known to display invalid output on some values when hypervisor is turned on.

Thank you for your answers so far. I'll probably end up moving at least the drive which is closest to the lower graphics card so that the cable won't get in the way of the fan on its own when moving the case around. Also I found that there's a 3.5" to 5.25" adapter in my parts bin, which I might end up using. Unfortunately I can't tell when I have time to do it, hopefully next thursday/friday.

Alright, ignore the impact of heat to the drives themselves. But what about everything else in system, still no noticable difference to the other components?
-
Depends what's the definition of super heated. With that setup the "warm" drive is about 29C and "hot" 35C - which I don't consider heated. The temperatures were recorded recently by individually running hdtune drive error scan for 2 hours. The question came from pure interest whether there are any significant impacts to overall system cooling if drives were arranged differently.

After upgrading my PC to a crossfire setup, I noticed a minor problem - one part of the SATA power cable bends started touching the fan of the bottom card. This can be easily solved by attaching drives further apart from eachother so that there wouldn't be this weird bend. However I've never thought of asking this before - what would be the most optimal way to place hard drives to the bays? The case I have is BitFenix Shinobi [picture] There are 3x3.5" drives (let's name them warm, warmer and hot, because they have different heat output), 1 SSD mounted to a 2.5" to 3.5" bracket. There are two identical 120mm fans in front of the drive bays. The setup I had before was that starting from bottom, the second bay was populated with the hot drive, then warmer, and finally warm and on top of that the SSD. My logic was to keep the drives as low as possible so that the hot air can be blown away from the top and that the hot drive should be the lowest so that it wouldn't collect any more heat from the ones that would be below it. The cards themselves are about halfway to the two vertical cutouts on the picture, so I suppose I can fit the drives to any bay easily. Expansion slots that are populated are 2,3 and 5,6. What do you think would be a better solution to position the drives? Should there be more room at the bottom intake for the lower graphics card?

From OC-ing perspective I believe the Z87i-Deluxe is so far the best option, but like the EVGA board, it lacks PS/2.
