Well I notice a good difference even between an SSD and a Velociraptor. And I know how to take care of my drives. Short Stroking and all.

I swear I always chuckle a little bit when I see that term used
(don't worry, I know what it really means)
In more serious news... who else is looking forward to the new Corsair H100/80 coolers to come out? If the H100 reviews well I might get one of those (been thinking of getting something better than my Hyper 212+ to lower my temperatures a bit)

So guess this means we can use Asera for all our "That's what she said" jokes now~

"That's what Asera said"?
Edit: damn you Tetrisgoat, beat me to the punch
So what we can gather from this is Asera is good at stroking
...woah, did they update the entire input field while I was afk? Anyway, I wanna bling my computer when I get money, dammit. :U
Getting my hands on a NZXT Phantom White / Red limited edition very soon. (oh and probably a Corsair Force Series 3 120 GB SSD). I'll post pictures once I get it and have everything assembled :P I don't see any point in showing off my tiny (but yet cute) Cooler Master Elite 430 Black with window in the side panel. The lack of proper light inside the case makes it a bit boring on pictures xD (Not to mention my cable management. Go look at some reviews of the case, there's not many options for hiding cables)
Since soo many of you seem quite versed in the art of pro computers. Wondered if anyone could give me a good direction to head in for spending £1,000 on a new system. Only requirement I have is that it has a 120GB SSD with a secondary drive of around 500gb/1TB.
Thoughts?

I love this computer so far no complaints. I am not a benchmark fanatic, but my games run smooth and I can still open my Trading platforms without any issue or lag. I once had WOW running and alt tabbed then got distracted and started playing BF BC2 Vietnam and didn't even notice any FPS difference... It was an awesome fail. No blue screens though it was a tricky setup process getting my ram to clock correctly. I can only achieve 2000 mhz with 4 gb with 8 I am forced to run at 1800 mhz. Maybe I can post a photo of my pc tables setup.
