The worst thing is he'll buy that case and then buy another one in a few months time, all that talk about lasting long and built for endurance when they don't even use anything for more than a few months anyway!

EHRM... I am not changing that case to anything.

Just finished installing Vista on the SSD, yet to install all drivers and so on.

I am very surprised how big impact having fast SSD has even regular web browsing with Firefox! Everything is much snappier than before. I'll share more thoughts when I get driver installs done.

Don't the Intel SSD's cost a fucking fortune? How much was it?

I just looked it up. I thought all the Intels were hugely expensive, but it's just the X-25 E's that were released first that were 600GBP for a 64GB drive.

Can I ask, what's so special about this Corsair case? I would have thought a Lian Li would be much better... It looks quite basic.

Cable management is done much better. It also has hotswappable HDD mountings.

I simply love the clean exterior look compared to the best lian lis (look for Lian li PC-P80 for example).

Some Lian Lis do have dust filters, so does this one. I will inevitably get watercooling one day, and you can mount 360 rad on top out of the box.

The case I have been looking for as alternative is the red anodized Lian Li PC-P50R, but it lacks in cable management and space, yet costing 200€ or more.

I really want a sidepanel window but cba to mod one so that is plus to the Corsair as well.

E: The SSD costed me 225€ which is not bad as I was prepared to pay well over 300€. 34nm drives couldn't have come to market in better time.

Some times i think of moving over to a mid tower, with some of the sweet and cheap ones comming out. I really like the looks of the xigmatech Midgard.

I can change gfx card easily, but you can't do that with cases....
