that's too bad ... if a single ssd could be used as cache for all attached (or specified drives) that would be awesome. maybe in the next generation of chipsets...

^thanks!

This new SRT tech was a bitch to get right, I guess the Mobo has two chipsets for its sata3. So you gotta make sure your os drive is by itself and then the ssd/spinner drive have to be on the other chipset. Wish the manual would explain that!

Well on my third re-install of windows :P.

Tomorrow ill take some good shots of the rig.

So I have it like this:
OS is a SSD - runinng off the Marvel chipset w/ the blu ray drive
Storage is a SSD+HD running off the Intel chipset
then a spare 2.5 drive I had that I just threw in there. (also in the intel chipset)


Now this depends on which motherboard you go with, I assume it will vary quite a bit.

Yeah so you'd have your HD and a SSD on either the 3rd party or the Intel chipset. Then you would have your OS drive on the other chipset. <--- this is the part where no one told me, the rest is easy.

Yeah the case was a really good choice, just going to add one more video card for xfire and then call it a day.

^damn he has the dual fan version 6870 I wanted

I had to use some of that sleeving, but in black for two yellow sata cables.

I think I'm going to add a red or blue led strip for extra light.

NZXT make a sick one:

On a side note, crysis 2 is amazing with this thing, max settings...not even a stutter. Soo good!!

Donut, you get your rig all done?

Yeah, my rig is functional but physically, its a mess. :P I also have a roll of those tubing in my room but I'll get to work on wiring after midterms...

For NZXT LEDs, I'd choose red. I'm actually working on getting have the same color scheme you've got going on (white, black,red, gold) ATM I'm hunting down some gold thumbscrews for my PCI slot covers. Then I'm going to change out all the LEDs in my fans/fan controller/etc to white.

Speaking of NZXT, those real sleeved extensions they make are tempting...way too expensive though. I guess I'll have to live with my rainbow wires for now until I find a cheaper solution like those tubings, lol

It's my first time using an SSD, any optimization tips that you guys can share? Can I just install Windows 7 onto it like a regular drive?
