I pitched having a Type-C connector on the GPU over year ago and @iFreilicht gave me a hard time about it.

Stack the Type-C connectors 90° to the PCB and get a ton of I/O in a single slot...
Yeah the implementation could be hard to tackle. If the USB logic goes into the chip, a graphics crash in-game could take down the USB chain as well, so there's the chance of system instability(...? depending on the kind of devices plugged in downstream?) If the Motherboard's USB headers were used, there's the thing of which kind of header to support (USB2 or USB3 Gen 1 header or Gen 2 header).
Maybe the GPU could act as a semi-passive pass-through, so there'd be a USB hub logic part that's depending on the GPU for some kind of PCIe connection instead of relying on a separate PLX switch.
That's it, USB hubs are dead.

I wouldn't say they'd be dead even with all that I/O!
After all.. a hub can easily be placed in a more convenient location in your setup, improving cable management, aesthetics and usability!

Now if we could something completely, utterly overkill like that for SFX-L that'd be amazing

It's a beautiful piece of engineering, about the only nit to pick is that the boards are not conformal-coated.A $1000 PSU: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=508

ooh, what's conformal-coating...?
*googles*
Oh wow interesting. Should I spray that to the back of my graphics card...

Not if you want to keep your warranty (or not have the repair engineer whose desk the card lands on curse your name in numerous and interesting ways).
Yeah it's one of those blendtec moments (IT BLENDS ANYTHING! SECURE PAPER SHREDDER!). Sometimes I get carried waaay too far in thinking of the possibilities
(was serious when I was thinking about the coating on the back, but yeah you have a point there ._.)

Huh, apparently SilverStone experimented with fully automated PSU assembly back in 2009:
Hey guys, I'm back! Exams are finally over, thank god for that. Expect things to happen!
So there's this startup(?) in the area I live in that will sell speced-out ITX console-sized PCs. The case... whatisit again?
EDIT: ahh dangit, should have read the comments where I found it: It's the NFC S4 Mini. Hey!
Whey!!

I've had some difficulty cleaning a few matte laptop screens at work. We have a screen-cleaning spray and some micro fibre cloths that'll deal with most displays but I've had a few matte displays that I can't get spotless. Not all matte's though, most I get perfect but I have one at the office I can't get looking less of a mess than it came in.
Some general tips for this: matte displays need to be cold (so off for a while) to get clean with screen cleaning solutions and you need to keep wiping until it's dry and streakless. Glossy displays are much easier but the same tips apply.
I've also gotten this for the other keyboard gunk:
It works amazingly well for my Corsair K70 keyboard so it seems a good use for laptop keyboards.

For Laptops and periodic cleaning I'd agree, but with a non-chiclet keyboard, nothing beats removing all the cap and properly cleaning underneath. No matter how clean your desk is, it will get dirty in there.
