2000$~ for the starting configuration with a i7 6700K and two GTX 960 in SLI and 3000$~ for a i7 6700K an two GTX 980 (Not M Notebook Version) in SLI. Other hardware was note specified, only that it comes with two M.2 connectors, four SO-DIMM DDR4 slots and it may come in a X99 configuration.

I would like to know:
- Is the bracket which is visible at 00:30 of the official video a 2.5" mount?
- Will there be a barebone for DIY?
- What size of M.2? M.2 Raid possible? Super RAID 4 ect.
- Since the GPUs will be upgradable, how many Gens of upgrades?
