anyone know why the prices have gone up? | Supply and demand. In this case, there is a huge demand for it in China for cheap android tablets.

So NCIX won't do $109, but is offering me $119 instead. Take it? Pass?
It's been too long since I've been in the building scene | |

Don't get the Samsung 840 | Newegg is another $10 in shipping and I have to wait. I pricematched that HD to NCIX and that's what they came back at me with.
I guess I'll call them tomorrow and accept their pricematch. I like local, personally. Plus I'm impatient and want my shit.

At $119 with no shipping and get it right away, I'd go for it. Maybe try Memory Express?
TBH any SandForce with full synch MLC is worth at least $1 per GB, especially at the low end (price per GB naturally goes down as capacity goes up)
Looking at other 120/128 drives in that price range, I don't think you are going to get a better deal. You might find an async drive, or one with a crappy controller, but unless they are significantly less than $120 I wouldn't bother.

Edit: I read that post at Anandtech, and I agree with that guy  Make sure AHCI is enabled, and make sure you have the latest drivers. That's it. There are some caveats particularly if you are on an X79 but for most people that's all you need to do.

The Crucial will get really slow after a while without TRIM, but it will never be as slow as the default drive.

Swapped everything back into my CM Elite 430, so now there's a clear window on the side panel and my ugly rainbow PSU cables are a huge eye-sore. I definitely do not want to blow money on sleeving kits, and the case's cable management isn't too great to begin with. Are there any products that can wrap the cables up in say, a black sleeve without actual sleeving?

Something like that, or even some kind of velcro wrap of some sort if it even exists...

3M Carbon-Fiber Shrinkwrap. You can rice that PSU out! 
Also, use the 3M wrap on the actual PSU box.

Ended up wrapping the main mobo power cable in electrical tape
