On the side of the pull out motherboard tray. CaseLabs reserves space for like 6x2.5" drives. So you can keep all that shite tucked away.
I have 2 x Vertex 4 256GBs and 1 x Samsung 840 500GB

Well I was an AMD fanboy until C2Ds.
Did someone say AMD fanboy?

What can I say, I'm cheap

Hey I love my cheap AMD stuff, but I'm not going to sit here and say the i5 and i7 isn't better
My latest build started off with a hand me down 965BE and total cost to build was under $500 w/SSD and 6870 (built a year ago)

I have the 3570k, it just outdoes the 8350 enough for me. I could have easily gone 8350 though and been happy. When it came to gpu though I couldn't make myself get a 660ti when the 7870 is that good a deal and performs that well. Amd just has the midrange prices nailed.

They are really a trade off. At 1080p gaming there might be a 5-10 FPS difference but the 8350 does so much better in multi threaded apps like photoshop, video, and 3D rendering, etc.

I looked into that heavily, it's not even that different sometimes. It is just certain games that perform about 5 FPS better and it is only a few. Like I said I could have done either one and been happy.

I almost went 3570K but I do photoshop, video and 3D rendering on the side a lot so I get a dual purpose out of my machine really. It also helps when streaming on Twitch.
I really need to push mine some more but I am on air now so I just do the easy OC to 4.2. Maybe when that H70 gets here I will take the time to find a good stable OC for it.

All I do is game currently. I need to OC mine, I just haven't had the time to fiddle with it yet.

My GFs PC's MOBO is fckking up so I traded her my test bench mobo.
The problem with that I couldn't end there. Ended up buying her a Sapphire 7790 2GB for her computer. SHE DOES ZERO gaming but some OpenCL applications from time to time. She also has a 27" 2560x1440 IPS Shiaman for her LightRoom and PhotoShop adjustments.
I felt like the free guys and her possibly needing extra HP would be beneficial. Excited to see how this card pairs against my 650Ti.

I just bought a 680 4GB classified, a 670 FTW SE, a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ MOBO, and some misc shite for $338 shipped.
I might be able to flip it all for a small profit

I'll buy one of those cards if you're interested in selling one of them.
Posted on 6/9/13 at 4:19 pm to dizerik
I am going to sell at least one of them. I might keep that 680 and sell the 7870GHz I am using right now. I also have a Gigabyte 7870 coming back from RMA that I will sell fairly cheap but I have to pass it by someone else first that asked about it.
Posted on 6/9/13 at 4:29 pm to stout
Put them on that site and I may jump on one too.
Posted on 6/9/13 at 4:47 pm to Mr Gardoki
I will. I got my rework machine in Friday and the replacement sockets I ordered from China will be here early this week. I am going to start on some really cheap boards I bought to practice but once I get it down I have some nice boards I am sitting on.
Posted on 6/9/13 at 5:01 pm to dizerik
Word. Just let me know bro. I could use any of em. Just email me if you decide which one you wanna get rid of.
