Show Us Your Rig

Nice! I'm thinking of putting one of those SSD's in my first build (Not gonna build until next year )

Aren't there significant write performance degradations as the drives fill up still with these SSD drives? In the past, it seemed they screamed out of the box, but over time as blocks got used, a write operation consisted of a read, an update, an erase and then finally a write sequence. I know we had some MAC users in my shop who went banannas for their SSD drivers...but over time their MAC's slowed to a crawl. A few of them got new MAC's and opted to standard hard drives again because of this performance issue.

I figured I would ask the fellas here who are investing heavily in these drives for some input.

I LOVE it. It boots Windows very fast and everything else is fast too. I would get one if you can. I guess price is the only reason everybody does not use these. Patriot has a 10 year warranty for all Torqx drives now so you have nothing to lose.

I paid $379 for mine. Here is where I got it.

Newegg.com - Patriot Torqx PFZ128GS25SSDR 2.5" 128GB SATA II Internal Solid state disk (SSD) - Solid State Disks

The Gskill 1066Mhz RAM is great too!

I'd rather go for the Corsair Performance SSD's or OCZ's Vertex.

Here's my HTPC, looking to upgrade the case so it matches the rest of it but just can't decided yet. The Sky box has now gone upstairs so there is room for a full height HTPC case.

People use an xbox 360 controller over the keyboard/mouse??!



What game are you playing?

After viewing all of your "setups" I need to get a new desk. My desk sucks

I have a corner desk from Ikea
