We've talked about this drive (in a similar deal) on Page 93. It's a good drive based on the SandForce SF-2281 controller. It isn't the latest and greatest, but it is a pretty solid performer. For $150, it's a good buy.

If any of you already got SATA SSD, I'd wait a bit if you are not in a hurry for upgrade.
There should be a bunch of "affordable" PCI-e based SSD coming sometime in Oct.
1GB/s+ on a single drive!

170 deg F is only around 77 deg C, so I wouldn't say it's outrageous.

hey guys it's been I think around 6 months since I built my PC maybe a bit more, anyway just wondering when the 660 GTX TI will be dropping in price. I have the EVGA one right now and I wanted to add another one for SLI.
I noticed a bunch of new video cards came out and I assumed that would drop the price of the 660 down, but it's still almost the exact same as when I bought the card 6+ months ago...
I only need a little bit more juice to get a consistent 60fps on ultra settings in Rome Total War 2 that's coming out in a month.
Another 660 would do it easily, but I was expecting it to be no more than $200 after taxes by now, it's still up there close to $300 though.
If you guys got any suggestions on maybe another card that has at minimum twice the power of my current 660 gtx TI 2gb that would cost around the same amount I'm willing to spend right now ($200 + whatever I would get for selling my current 660)
then please suggest away, thanks

My laptop hits load 80 degrees during gaming.
77c is fine. Grab an aftermarket heatsink if you are worried.

In terms of mechanical keyboards, would you guys go Ducky or Filco?
I'm looking at switching my SteelSeries 6Gv2 to a different keyboard. I really dislike the "| \" placement.
I picked up the Filco Majestouch 2 Ninja Cherry MX Red Switch 104 Key Mechanical Keyboard Black and it seems like a really good deal for $124. Was thinking of returning it and getting maybe Shine 2?
