New Samsung SSDs?

Got my drive, so far I am loving it. Fast boot, fast app loading. Only use 32GB of a boot drive so 60GB was fine, even though it was really only 55.8GB.. Thanks to everyone with opinions :)

New Samsung SSDs?

I have narrowed it to crucial and intel.. Intel because of it being proven, and crucial because of return/warranty. Deal directly with manufacture the whole time. Anyone know how much space the crucial and intel have after being formatted? Are they truly 64GB / 80GB respectively or do they...

What are the G.skill and Intel size after formatting? If the crucial is only 50GB, thats not quite enough for my liking.

desktop monitor.. is 24" a good screen size

guessing the panasonic 32" ^^^ Have the same thing, awesome. For productivity I wish it had the extra 120 pixels, and text (especially red text) isnt always the clearest. But gaming rocks on this thing.

One thing i never skimp on is the motherboard. Its the single most important thing as far as stability goes. Maybe look at the gigabyte board for $30 more. If you consider the 720 PII as $145, its still only $97

ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro

I got the XIGMATEK HDT-S1283. Pain to install with the push pins, and the fan was an even bigger pain. Anyways, it cools my processor better than the stock cooler, and the fan doesnt even spin (0rpm)... Craziness.
