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  | |

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
