    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)

    I guess the difference is in the eye of the beholder as well. (that's what she said)

    Also, I laugh at the term short stroking as well. (...that's what she said)

    I only short stroke my 'drives' when they misbehave.

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

    So what we can gather from this is Asera is good at stroking

    <--Has noticed that Asera, Tetrisgoat, and Ayako (When she was around :<) had a lot of back and fourths that were very risque.

    ...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?

    Look here: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...pot-quot-Build
    The builds are in USD (I have no idea what the conversion rate is), but should give you an idea of what to start with.

    My current PC.

    Video Card: Asus 5970 2048
    Motherboard: Asus Crosshair V Formula AMD 990FX
    Processor: AMD Phenon II X6 1090T Overclocked to 4GHZ
    Memory: Corsair Dominator GT 8 GB SDRAM DDR3 1800MHZ
    SSD: 2x OCZ Vertex Turbo 60 GB Raid 0
    HDD: WD Black 1 TB
    Power Sup: Corsair 850W Enthusiast Series
    Case: Silverstone Raven RV02
    Monitor: Samsung XL2379HD
    Mouse: Logitech G5 <best mouse ever>
    Keyboard: Logitech G15 <meh>
    Speakers: Creative Gigawatts T3
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate

    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.
