I actually have the same case as you :P It's an awesome case. I built mine last year, I'm sure you'll love your computer. Mine isn't as decked out, but even mine runs extremely fast (no SSD, but RAID); you'll love it. Quite a nice system! I actually have the same case as you :P It’s an awesome case.

That's a really good system! Would like that for a server. :D Nice choice Chris! And by the way, Vista is going to run extremely fast on that. Unless if you happen to go the Linux way. :P WOW!

I am buying into the speed of instant access thing. It was a tough choice, but since the raptor 10,000 rpm drive and this were pretty close, I decided to try it out. :) Thanks Steve.

Being in the field myself, there's a lot of stigma surrounding the ssd and normal drive 'thing'. The fact of the matter is, unless your computer is moving around, right now, it's pretty pointless. They're not 100x faster than normal drives. And the speed difference isn't very noticeable, unless you're spec'ing out the numbers. It's a nice system, but you could have saved yourself a couple hundred by using a standard drive. 1tb drives are less than $150 now!!! And in all honesty, until solid state drives are as cheap as regular drives, they'll only be useful in laptop computers. Nice computer, but I think you’ve been had with the SSD drive.
