This is the tower I'm thinking about getting. With my current setup, this is just perfect for me. It looks a little out of this world, but it doesn't take it too far.

sweet. as far as out of this world cases go... This one should set the precedent.

I used to have a setup that had a single, six blade, 30" fan on the side that spun at a moderate speed and an open air filter element on the other side to keep it clean. then I overclocked it and fried the motherboard and sold the case.


see below...



currently not worth the cost. but look back a few years at the cost of larger HDD's. give it a little time and the prices will come down.


with a SSD, you dont have mechanical arms and spinning platters that are most easily damaged in HDDs.
That being said, SSD's are more apt for usage in notebooks/laptops and such that are constantly being moved around, bumped, sometimes dropped, etc.
HDDs work just fine in a desktop computer where the case is not being shuffled around on a regular basis.
SSD's also consume less power than HDDs based off of the nature of how they operate. they dont have any moving parts to draw energy to move. adding into that, SSDs dont build up the heat that HDDs do as well.
SSDs are also faster than HDDs. but, as Xan said, they are pricier compared to HDDs, and another thing that just popped in my mind is that when you delete something from an SSD, it is gone. it wont do like a traditional HDD and "soft delete" it and just rename the file and store it elsewhere.

what you can do is find a compromise. run a 60Gb SSD for your primary drive and run a larger HDD as your secondary storage. This way you can get the effects of the SSD's speed and still afford the larger storage space at an affordable cost with the HDD.

So in that case is a 10,000rpm hard drive even worth it or?

I used a Coolermaster tower so I had ample room to work when assembling. Only thing you really have to be careful of is before you place your motherboard.. be sure all the screws are out from underneath where the motherboard is going go (even with motherboard lifter clearance).
You can fry a few connections if not the entire motherboard.

More room allows for more expansion too..
More room allows for a large graphics card.. gaming woot!

etc etc..

Enjoy your weekend!

yeah, right now, SSD's are more ample for the notebook/laptop market over the desktop market. but, you can get a cheaper 60gb SSD to use as your primary drive to run your OS from and use the HDD for backup and file storage.
and if you are going on a budget, obviously you can get a high speed, high volume HDD for cheaper than most SSD's that are out now

thats why I like it so much. he should step in here and learn a few things about computers....
