Except NZXT stuff isn't always high quality, take the Sentry 2 for example, they openly admitted using low quality materials which were causing voltage instability and most, if not every fan to click or whine. I have one with this issue so I know firsthand, although it's not too bad for me as my fans don't click or whine, but I do get voltage instability causing fans rpms to fluctuate very audibly. I'm always pretty cautious about buying things from NZXT.

From my little experience with server-oriented HDDs (WD Caviar Red, Seagate Constellation, etc.) and from what I've read and heard, they tend to be more reliable than WD's server-oriented offerings.

WD Red is a NAS/RAID optimized drive. Not a server class drive.

Just upgrade my video card from a AMD 6950 2GB to Geforece GTX 660 SC. Very tempted to get the GTS 660 TI but meh I don't play too much games so it should last me a while.
Edit also considering getting a SSD now.... since my laptop have one is such a big difference any good suggestions for a decent and cheap SSD?
