A few upgrades
Thinking about making a few upgrades to my computer:
Moving from a CoolerMaster Centurion 5 case to a Lian Li PC-K8 (saw Lowfats lian li and silverstone and loved the cable management and tidiness of the cases )Adding a 30GB SSD drive for the OS (vista home premium) I have heard mixed reviews about OCZ for SDD...Can anyone clarify? This, of course, will only work if funds allow (and they probably won't because im getting an iphone soon too! )maybe ill have to get better grades

Re: A few upgrades
An OCZ Vertex is a great SSD. But it is the only SSD of theirs that is really any good.

Re: A few upgrades
I am really looking forward to checking out SSD drives here myself (finances providing). On the rest looks good on the upgrades ... the tidiest and roomiest case I have tried is still the NZXT Tempest.

Re: A few upgrades
i'm REALLY tempted to get the new 120gb OCZ SDD they just released.. but at over 500 bucks for the damn drive.. that's rediculiously expensive....

![]() about the iPhone, IMO, it's just a gimmick. a friend of mine has an iPhone, and yes, it's neat and all. but, i wouldn't say it's worth shelling out that much cash for it. i'd rather get a BlackBerry curve instead of an iPhone. |
