    SSD - partition or not to partition

    So, I got a Samsung 840 Pro SSD (256gb), and I am wondering whether I should partition it as I have do always with the regular hard drive. Partition C for Windows 7 & apps, partition X for my data. Since this is an SSD and it is much faster than a regular drive, I figured to just have one...

    Upgrade of Cable Modem

    GTX 660Ti or GTX 670

    I don't game much, so I don't know whether it's worth to buy the Gigabyte GTX 670 OC, and just get the Gigabyte GTX 660Ti OC. Is it worth the extra $100? It has to be an NVIDIA because I'm running OS X on PC. I got a i7-3770K on GA-Z77X-UD5H.

    PSU mounting

    OK, thanks. All cases get dusty if you don't clean inside with compressed air.

    PSU mounting

    I just got a new Antec Three Hundred Two case that has the mounting of the PSU on the bottom. Do I install the PSU with the fan up or down?

    Samsung 840 or 840 Pro

    I plan buying the 840 for my Hackintosh, but I'm not sure which to go with. I see the both have much higher IOPS, but there are few differences when you compare them. Is it worth spending the additional $$$ for the Pro Series? Memory Components 840 - TLC 840 Pro - MLC Power...
