newls1 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Hey newsl1, those HHD's look very interesting. The Western Digital one you linked to is a 2TB, and it said they might go for $300...... So then I remembered that I saw them on the OCZ site. I went and got the model numbers for their 1TB unit, then checked the price on Amazon...... $2600 !!! WTF !!!! Why such a rediculously huge discrepancy in price ? I mean, the OCZ one was prettier and all..... But not $2300 prettier ! Fish OCZ doesnt make any "SPIN MOTOR" type HDD, only SSD's, so not sure what you saw on their website, but for 2xxx$ bones, that was more then likely a PCIe 4x Slot card with a few SSD's build in to equal 1TB of space. Those are the future my friend, once they get perfected, and the prices come down, that is where its at for speed. www.xtremesystems.org is totally hosted on a SSD type like that, and the speed of that site for searching, etc.... Is VERY FAST! and very reliable. Fish, The drive you have coming will be fine for you, so STOP SEARCHING LOL! When you get more acustomed to PC hardware, and installs, then upgrade to a SSD for you 2nd drive, and install ALL YOUR SOFTWARE TO IT! Damn that would be fast. I love my staffie So anti FACEBOOK it isn't even funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimpedout97x Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 ive placed it 8 times. they keep getting put on hold becuase the dumb ass's that handle the newegg preferred account cant get their shit straight and fix my account. it says i have the available balance, yet its declining it. it all happened becuase i ordered the mobo, vid card, etc and i saw a different card i wanted. well this was 1am when i placed the order, so i cancelled it and replaced it with the other part. ever since i replaced the order, its being put on hold. they said well the first one u cancelled had posted to ur account, gotta wait 10 days for it to clear. i waited over 10 days, says i have the available balance on my account of 1,100 and some change, yet its STILL not processing the order......i dont wanna drop 1000 on the rest of the parts out of my pocket, id rather take advantage of the no interest for 12 months and pay it that way so its easier to pay off. but yea its majorly pissing me off!!!!!!

pimpedout97x Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 got my mobo yesterday, the card, cpu, ram etc should be here later. im going to put the mobo in now question tho....on my antec 1200 case, i ordered 1 more 120mm fan for the side panel. should i put this blowing air out or in? i have the 3 120s on the front, 2 120s on the back, and a 200mm on the top. im not to sure which way they blow air, but im sure its the front 3 taking in air, the 2 rears and top fan blowing air out... so should the side one be taking air in?
