I do have SATA III. I'll take the Kingston for 70 shipped.

Which drive scored the best (for a boot drive) during your tests? I don't need much space for my boot drive so that isn't a concern.

Do you ship?

It's just funny that it is your first post.

Definitely negligence.

My car is a manual as well. Hard to push in the clutch with a gimp leg.

:welcome: nice first post.

I'm still out with the gimp leg. People would be jumping down my throat if I tried to ride.

That was exactly my point. I was saying build cheap now save for later, then gut and rebuild with your saved money in three years. He mentioned gaming in three years.

You have to decide if you are trying to build a cutting edge computer now, or if you want a cutting edge computer in three years. There would be some major differences in the way you would approach your build.

That is a hard question to gauge since no one knows the future, but AMD and Intel have ON AVERAGE (not hard science) put out around two generations of processors for their sockets. It depends on how much the processor architecture changes from one generation to the next and if they have to change the dies. If you aren't going to upgrade for three year, you might be getting toward the end of life on your average Micro Center motherboard if you like to stay up to date. That isn't to say it won't still work, it just won't be cutting edge.

I may be interested in upgrading my desktop boot drive from an Agility 3. Let me know what you have. Jbot, I was going to post some stuff on here, but my head hurts from shaking it so much at Exarch's posts. I have built and worked on literally hundreds of computers over the years. Let me know if you have any specific questions or want some help.

I don't know yet. I'm supposed to talk to a specialist today. It is still very painful to have my leg bent more than 90º so I might not be able to go

Awesome!

How is the neighborhood? I've heard some scary things about the Reynoldsburg/Pickerington area.

Did anyone hear this one? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/27/otty-sanchez-woman-accuse_n_245627.html

I'm taking my little bro camping starting Friday. I won't be able to make it

You might want to look into getting an AMD Phenom x6 1090t or 1100t (Don't go for the bulldozer series). It will give you great performance and is far cheaper than the i7. Plus you can overclock it to over 4Ghz per core.

I've been thinking about getting a GoPro 2 HD. I'm looking to go skydiving soon, plus I go backpacking, snowboarding, and ride my motorcycle all over the place. I think it would be sweet to record some of it.

Updates in original post.

That was pretty humorous. How did you realize it was gone?
