Hi,
 
I'm very interested in buying the Z97 Stinger board, it really looks fantastic. Now I also see you have the Z97 Stinger Wifi board. I have some questions.
 
1) On the Z97 Stinger, there is an empty mPCIe slot. Does this double as a mSATA slot as well? So I can use a mPCIe Wifi card there, or a mSATA SSD?
 
2) On the Z97 Stinger Wifi, it seems the mPCIe slot has been replaced with a vertical M.2 slot. Is this correct? Can I remove the existing Wifi card there, and add my own M.2 Wifi card? Does this M.2 slot also support a SSD to be put there?
 
3) Will you provide a BIOS update to let user choose the interface color? I think the BIOS looks nice, but a color option would be great.
 
Thanks!

I was reading up on other EVGA boards, such as the Classified, and previous Z87 Stinger. There's very limited information, but it seems there could be a half size mSATA in use, or unusual key B/E for M.2, and so forth.
 
I hope anyone or a EVGA representative could shine light on my questions.
