    I'm so freaking excited SDB-E is coming out. Here is a preview intel board......

    1567 CPUs, like almost all other intel CPUs, stay expensive forever. Unless you somehow find some used.

    Not sure about the clock to clock difference between Nehalem EX and westmere EX; I'll bet it's minor. I don't think the Nehalem EX was offered in a 10 core package. Westmere EX are offered in 8 core and 10 core variants, notably, and emphasize core count and cache size over clock speed. They run...

    What is the latest on the announce date for the LGA 2011 CPUs and motherboards

    That's not a half bad idea... I think I will do the same.

    Flex Riser Cards?

    I wish I could find the link to the build, but I have seen those flex risers used to connect 7 dual slot GPUs to a single ATX motherboard. Unfortunately, the ones I remember the build using were custom made. That said, it looks like the ones you posted would have a low enough clearance to fit.

    Guru3d has x79 preview

    For you, maybe. For those of us that need/want something a little more... substantial, SB-E is where it's at.

    Reliable Hard drives?

    Everyone is going to give you a different answer, but I prefer WD and Samsung. I will not touch Seagates.

    A board specifically designed for IB-E, assuming the SR-3 doesn't work for some reason, would be slated for well into 2013.

    My guess is less optimistic; basic in 250-300 range, higher end boards 350-500, SR3 at 600+.

    Lian Li PC-V2120, PC80 I think. There's a Xigmatek full tower that will hold it. Most if not all of the Mountain Mods cases, some Case Labs cases will do it. There's a few others that either officially support it or support it with some caveats, but I can't recall what they are. The real problem...

    Not without serious modifications.

    I hope so. Personally I'm gunning for a 2650, and I'm crossing my fingers that it will be about the same price as an X5650 or L5640.

    Nothing to summarize, really. Jacob simply confirmed that it will happen and that they're already knee deep in the process. There's no pictures or specs yet, but it will be built to run on the E5-2600 quad, hex, and octo-core Xeons that should be hitting the streets between November and January...

    Asus is playing their cards very close to the chest, but probably. As for the SR-3 (or whatever), the answer is a resounding yes: Check it out: http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?high=&m=1130985&mpage=3#1132728 And per Jacob's twitter, it is "not intended for IB-E Xeons" so that says...
