    Yeah I could remove it pretty easily and quickly right now.

    I'm debating whether I should put the brand stickers back on or not. Got a Seasonic, Corsair, Core i5 Intel, Monster, 2x SSD ones, Gibraltar (drum hardware lul!), Asus, and Zalman.

    The problem with OCZ SSDs comes from two sources:
    1) Sandforce Controllers: All in all, they aren't that bad, but in combination with current intel chipsets (anything with sandy bridge), they can cause random BSODs.
    2) The used Flash memory: There seems so be some compatibility problems with the particular Flash memory, that OCZ uses and the Sandforce Controllers.

    Point 1) concerns all SSDs with Sandforce (e.g. Corsair Force), but point 2) adds additionally to the problems with OCZ.



    P.S.
    I have an OCZ vertex 2 from the first production batch (november 2010), which i am currently in the process of RMAing, because it might be faulty. It worked very well until now, but since 2 months i sometimes get a BSOD shortly after booting.
    Why do something simple, when there is a complicated way?

    Not exactly.

    OCZ has always been an early adopter and trailblazer when it comes to SSD technology. That means they encounter problems before anybody else, and sometimes they get fixed before anyone else uses them.

    This means they had teething problems with the Indilinx Barefoot controller...not really their problem. It means they also had issues with the SandForce 1200/2200 series controllers. Later on they had some issues when moving to 25nm NAND chips. If the Indilinx Everest controller has any major problems, OCZ will get the blame there too. That's all a bit unfair IMO.

    I just want to let the warning sink in this time.

    Nice choice, put some pictures on when it arrives

    I believe you maybe can find some kind of adapter to connect your computer to your Mac's screen, it being 2560x1440 you can run games at a high resolution, I've seen it somewhere. (If you've got the specs to it)

    Or you could sell it to someone going to college soon, macs are good social status computers. XD

    Darkley doesn't that light in the corner right there bug your eyes? =X It looks kind of bright and if I had a light right there it would drive me absolutely nuts. Otherwise your system looks pretty kickass.

    Just replaced my tower with a new laptop- an HP DV7-6199US.

    Core i7 2.2 GHZ
    ATI 6770M 2 GB
    8GB RAM
    1TB HDD
    Blu-Ray Drive

    It's obviously not going to be confused w/ a Falcon Northwest laptop, but it looks pretty nice and it wrecks WoW, Star Wars, Skyrim, and Reckoning.

    Its actually a 5W energy saver bulp and does not give out as much light as the picture makes it seem (its quite dim), its the camera that went emo and made it look like a 500w bulp :P

    OK, so I've never been a fan of the HAF cases (especially the big ones) but yours looks awesome. How did you replace the side mesh with a window? (where you bought it)

    Likely he may have modded it - also I know Cooler Master does provide some additional side panel options, like you can get a HAF 932/942 X side panel that has a rectangular window on the left half of the panel.

    I didn't do anything to it, I just bought it like that from Newegg. They had one listed as a "blue edition" and I wasn't a fan of the red colour so I just went with it.
