How do I flash the BIOS on this motherboard? http://usa.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1156/Maximus_III_GENE/

How can I tell if a case will accomidate the GTX 580 or GTX 590? If they won't fit, how could I modify the case so it would? I've learned that the Lian Li PC-9F will support up to 285mm video cards.

I have no particular budget in mind. However, if a case costs more than $140, it better be noticably better than the Lian-Li PC-9F. I'm primarily interested in ATX mid-tower cases that have no side window, excellent airflow, and near silent operation.

Who makes the best (most quiet) fans?

I'm looking for an ideal case that would have: 1-2 slots for optical drives room for at least 4 HDDs & 2 SSDs be silent or close to it provide adaquate cooling for all the components So far, the best I've been able to come up with is the Lian-Li PC-9F...

What kind of temps do you get when running Furmark? http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/ What was the highest stable overclock you were able to get with your 2 Palit GTX 560 Ti video cards?

Where did you buy the Gainward GTX 560 Ti? I don't see it being offered at Newegg or Tigerdirect.

Just to clarify, do you mean that you have the single fan or dual fan version of the Palit GTX 560 Ti?

I suggest the GTX 550 Ti. I've seen it go for as low as $114.99 after rebate with free shipping: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121435 If you can afford to spend more, consider the GTX 560 Ti or a GTX 460. I've owned both and the performance they offer is outstanding.

Which case would you get if you had the following needs: *as quiet as possible *good airflow *1-2 5.25" slots for optical drives *no transparent windows *plenty of slots for hard drives The best case I've comes across so far is the Lian-Li PC-9F...

Which GTX 560 Ti video card would you get & why? Would you get one with a single fan design like this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814261100 Or a dual fan design: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814261101 Would you get a factory overclocked one or overclock it...
