Does this meet the ANSI Z87.1 impact rating standard?

Yes, it does. I own one and have used it in many paintball games. From firsthand experience, during one game I was shot in the left side of the visor (directly over my eye) by a paintball travelling at 280 fps and it took it like a champ. If you want to use it for airsoft, it'll last a lifetime. For paintball, I would replace the visor if it took a more than a few direct hits. It'll protect you just fine :)

Newegg.com says it isn't: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882105467

Yes. From the description: "The ballistic rated lenses provide four times greater impact protection than ANSI Z87.1, meeting military standard MIL-PRF-31013".

Thanks - trying to find out before purchasing, but I found some posts on Newegg that indicate they are SATA (maybe they changed from IDE to SATA and this is why it isn't in the specs).

This RAM is compatible with the Asus Z87 Deluxe line per the Asus Website. That does not guarantee that this is the best choice for your use, however. Do your own research if you have doubts.

Yes, it was very reliable for an older board. I now run an ASUS Maximus VII Formula.

Yes, mine has a label on the underside that states: ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2009, TYPE I, CLASS E, LT(LOW TEMP)

As far as i know this chip has been proven to work with z87 motherboards which is LGA 1150 socket. It was made for the new z97 which is 1150 as well.

So it claims on the ASUS page. http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/MAXIMUS_VI_EXTREME/

It worked great for me. And I'm not overclocking. Under heavy load mine goes to 54c.

My board, the Z87-Plus will work with this processor but it does require a bios update. A lot of other vendors are putting out their own updates as well.

Shouldn't be a problem. I know the Asus Z77 Nuvoton chips have some problems with anything older than the 3.10 kernal. I haven't heard anything wrong with the Gigabyte version though. I think Linux Mint has one or two very select issues? But, this was around a year ago when I heard of the problem. The only issue I've had with the board was the fact that I had to update the BIOS firmware to run a newer graphics card. But, you will probably do that anyway. The LED POST display is super useful if you need to troubleshoot something, just drop the number it shoots out into Google.

I just got mine, I'll try and remember to report back once we've tried it as loadbalance/failover is what we purchased it for. In the mean time I will note a lot of the reviews up are on the older side, I was looking for load balancers both here and on newegg and at newegg this model has 100 more reviews than it has here and its a solid 4/5 there so thats pretty encouraging.

I'm not sure but over had mine 2 years with no issues. Been dropped a few times, always reads accurately. I've compared it side by side with a fluke 789

It is 1155. Here is the spec from Gigabyte http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4127#sp

The description states that hey are ANSI Z87.1-2003 High Impact (marked "Z87.1+" on the lens) rated. That rating means the lens has to survive - without fracturing, penetration, or fragmentation - being shot with a .250" ball bearing from 4 ft. away at a speed of 150 f/s for safety glasses and 250 f/s for goggles. This is the same rating class we use in our machine shop and when shooting real firearms - so I'd say you should be pretty safe using them for paintball or airsoft as far as IMPACT resistance.
