I vaguely remember that, but I am primarily looking for a 24". Not sure why the extra 1" results in such an extra high premium.

^ The 24" has 1920x1200. Better resolution for workspace/browsing. Its not bad for gaming as well ( I have 3 1920x1200)

I ended up getting the Asus vg248qe. It has a refresh rate of 144hz

Pretty much the same price but here you get free shipping and you could get a gift card back!

Samsung 840 Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (MZ-7TD500BW) : Solid State Drives (SSD) - Best Buy Canada

^^ Don't think those two are the same. 840 Evo is newer.

Spent 1 full week on wiring and still looks like shit lol.

Kind of hard to tell, but it looks like you have the CPU cooler blowing hot CPU air into the case?

Might want to install it on the back exhaust, and move that fan to the front, blowing in.

The temp was horrible with one fan (amount at the front and blow cold air to the radiator) and speed controlled by motherboard, then I put two 0.37v fans hooked to the molex connector, the air turned much colder afterward. Noise is still very low.

I am still testing every little piece, so far it is the best position/result I get. 45idle / 75load at 4.4ghz :hotbaby:

no he has it on right
rad should intake cool outside air rather than exhausting warm chassis air
this is assuming GPU temps of the XFX DD is still acceptable

Looks to be a good deal?

Buy the OCZ Agility 3 480GB SSD at TigerDirect.ca

Or would a Kingston v200 240gbs at $170 be a better deal?

avoid the agility 3
not familiar with the kingston but $170 for 240g seems meh

I have got one OCZ Vertex 3 MI for OS only. its not so stable.

What is the most reliable and stable SSD nowadays ? prefer 240gb

Intel!

What's wrong with the Agility 3? I've been using my 120GB ever since they released the Sandforce firmware fix and haven't encountered a single issue.

Samsung 840 Pro is reliable?

Kingston SSDNow V300 Solid State Drive, 120GB at Memory Express

SSDNow Kingston V300 120gb $89.99 (24hr sale)

avoid agility 3. I had 2 of them with new firmware and both keep crapping out on me. installed windows and then later everything in the drive disappears.

I now only have intel drives.

Aside from being old and slow, I don't have any problem with my Agility 3 either. :badpokerface:

But yeah, if I am buying now, I wouldn't bother with the Agility 3.

Old. Yes. But slower is probably subjective. Real world speed you probably wouldn't notice the difference between the newer and older.

Personally, I always find that comparing real world noticeable differences between SSD is like splitting hair, but in this case, the Agility 3 is really quite old (well over 3 years!), and even when it was introduced, it was a "budget priced" product that uses asynchronous NAND chips compared to the slightly faster Vertex 3 that uses synchronous NAND chips. And today's SSDs already leave the Vertex 3 in the dust in terms of performance.

So really, given the choice, I would skip over the Agility 3 drive now.

Here's another Agility 3 that crapped out! =]

I used an Agility 3 on my old computer, that used SATA1, it doesn't like to hold data properly. Every once in awhile it'll stop booting windows.

The Vertex3's I've got are running fine. I got them the same day, about a year ago.

Is there something that I can do to make my PC have "wifi" capabilties?
Like some kind of USB thing I can plug in? (Not sure does such a thing exist)
I don't have a wifi mobo.

I have a wireless router, but I don't want to run Ethernet cables all over the place
or drill holes through the walls if I have another option.
