Hmm, what i know i have is, 4Gbs ram, I3 Processor, 450 GT Video Card and some Gaming Motherboard....aka i can run most 2011 games no probs (: also, 2 500Gbs HDDs an external 250Gbs and an external 1TB....

What i dont get, is why u would buy a SSD but you still torrent programs and games and music and movies??? the money u spend on a SSD thats is nothing compared to your 1TB in size, coulda been spent on supporting the people who make the content u get for free anyways....i mean i torrented M&B WFaS, then the next day before i even had 5 hrs gameplay, i bought it....

OH!! Also, i have 7 Ultimate SP1 64Bit.

I got an SSD so that I could have extremely fast boot times (15 seconds on average) and so that my most frequently used programs, like Battlefield Bad Company 2 can have very fast load times. It also contains all of my firmware, drivers and other system-programs.

I torrent games, music and movies and put them on my 1TB Samsung SpinPoint F3, which also stores my less used programs, as I don't need them to be fast and don't wish waste SSD space.

I can safely say that I have never torrented a game without buying it at a later date (mostly for the multiplayer I might add :P ) so... yeah :P

swearzy, if you need help building the pc, im pretty good at it, and can talk you through it (sorta a small hobby :P)

Also, my computer boots up in a minute, and im normally getting breakfast or an afternoon snack (just waking up, or home from school) so im normally at my desktop by the time it boots up.... so i still think SSD is a waste until its larger and cheaper.

And i mostly support the good games, if i torrent and it suxs, then i wont be paying for it ^.^

I simply refuse to allow you to purchase a Dark Fleet case. They are simply hideous.

Also, @Nikey - I have a 120GB Vertex 2 from OCZ.. my boot times are <20sec

If you like the look of it, get it... but... I will not endorse you doing so!

I can recommend the CM 690 II Advanced w/Window if you're looking for something with good airflow. Also, the Cooler Master HAF series of cases might be more to your tastes, considering that you like the Dark Fleet smile

Lol, as i said, im doing stuff when my comptuers loading so that 20< second load time would still be useless to me, cuz my computers always unuseds for like 5 minutes since being turned on wink

ah, i get you :P

i also have programs that i use frequently on my SSD, so they have much faster load times too

but saying that SSDs are not worth the money is not entirely true

exactly, however that can be attributed to your CPU as well as your storage drive
