    If you order late, will they update your bios in production before shipping out?
    Or do you have to do it yourself when the system arrives?

    I believe they give you the most updated version of the BIOS.

    Source: A friend ordered a desktop from them and he had latest drivers and BIOS.

    resetting your bios to your raid config. Is really simple to do. Its a simple drop down menu and just choose *raid* and then choose the NV raid config below it.
