The Intel Chipset INF doesn't really do anything anymore. It might fix some device names.
The RST also does nothing except add a GUI. You should already have the driver from F6 during install.
This is my order (with the final windows version you will use):
1. Windows + F6 drivers if necessary...
Use the search bar?
You can add your folders to a library to make searching faster.
You can also customize the folder view to General Items, instead of Videos, so that it shows up faster.
I don't really get what alphabetical folders do for you. You can already sort alphabetically, and you must...
You can pull the power plug from the hard drive. There are some risks, but it's mostly the same action as turning off your PC. You can enter BIOS setup to prevent the PC from booting.
I have or had mostly the same setup as you. My Norco 4220 box is mostly a backup box now. Instead of WHS and DE, I just use Windows 8 and Snapraid. Any OS could work for Snapraid. I was going to play with the Storage Spaces and the Media Center features, but decided not to.

I don't know much about the ROCCAT.
The K70 function keys are closer to the rest of the keys. I like this because it makes ctrl+function a lot easier to press. For example, switching forms on a druid in WoW.
Also, I love media keys. I like to skip songs a lot, and sometimes I need to change the...
Do any casters stream at 2560x1600 or 2560x1080? It doesn't seem worth it if most viewers will choose 1080p. How will you handle that with the monitors you have?
To answer your question, iPad mini. The smaller size is easier for long reading sessions and mounting in your car.
I think the best for reading is a black and white Kindle. It's portable, has a long battery life, and Amazon has a greater selection of books. Since your budget seems to be $500...
