    Wonderful looking system, simply fantastic! 
     
    I had a question regarding compatible parts with z97 chipsets. I read somewhere since the haswell cpus use a new low power state that only certain newer parts were compatible with it. (I.E ram ssd's, hdd's, psu's) Can you confirm this?

    On the graphics cards and sli bridge the lights are white oem. I opened the cards and bridge and just put a piece of red tail light repair lens plastic in there. The lights are pads not led bulbs. I posted a more detailed description in the 980 forums.

    I did a little fix on the ugly white lights on the cards and bridge.  3M lens material from auto parts store. Using torch made 90 degree screwdriver, disassemble, slip in red plastic lens, shave a little plastic off the stand piece for the thickness of the lens material. Place light pad back in. Wrap 1/8" piece of black tape on top and side edge to stop the light bleed thru. FYI one inch in from sli bridge end, under the sticker there's a screw. Sticker lifts up with a razor blade tip. 30 min per card. Done and done.
