Hmm, got hidden fans underneath for it to be that thick?
I've been using modded windows 10 driver for weeks.

Well if you can afford it, why not.  But it will be expensive solution.  I don't mind if anyone want to buy high-end CPU for their gaming rig. I actually encouraging it. No need Xeon IMO becuase it's too expensive for everyone, Haswell-E CPUs are powerful enough for this.

Well in my opinion, if you can afford a pair of high-end cards, you should be able to afford 1440p monitor at least. A pair of 290/290X are too powerful for 1080p anyway.

I just want to point out that people should be able to differentiate between driver overhead issue and driver optimization issue. Even if the API properly coded & the driver itself coded properly to utilized the API, you may still not get good performance in the games if the driver itself is not optimized for that games. This is the problem with AMD drivers especially with Nvidia-optimized games.
Well I'm not arguing but just discussing, if you're referring that to me but probably not. I always keep in mind that forum can't conveys tone.

Any link to the announcement?

I find that most of the time, IdealTech's prices are a bit more than the rest.
