    Most ideal SSD for Mac running OS X

    Without TRIM support, the OCZ Vertex 3 is looking like a sure fire bet. I've never seen an SSD perform so well without TRIM as the Vertex 3 does.

    I checked some Lian-Li cases at a local store...I can't believe how cheap and flimsy they feel. Maybe aluminum just isn't for me. Although I'm waiting a while before I buy, I think I'll just abandon my quest for elegant looks and get the HAF X. Beside that and the lack of dust filtering, it...

    Cases that Support 3 Dual-slot PCI-E Cards

    Since you're running a P182, you probably won't like it's looks, but the Coolermaster HAF X comes to mind.

    Fan recommendation w/o removing the mobo

    The Arctic Freezer 7 Pro is actually pretty good. It used to go for $30 though. :(

    Looking at more reviews...why are people so against steel? The Corsair 800D weighs 15.3KG, and the Lian-Li PC-V2120 weighs 14.4KG. Doesn't seem like such a substantial difference to me.

    Ugh, you know what? Screw it. I'm going with the Corsair 800D. Sure, it'll be big, but it's not like I go to LANs more than 3-4 times a year. It's just too perfect otherwise. Maybe I'll try my hand at water cooling someday.

    I may have it: SilverStone FT01 The main issue here is that it can't fit a graphics card longer than 10.5" without removing the HDD bay...but otherwise it seems to satisfy all my criteria. Thoughts?

    I've got a CM 690. It's a great case for the money, but I'm shooting for something a little higher end, and with less plastic. I'm generally looking for an easy building, quiet sounding, yet visually striking and elegant case. Tough to find!

    I had considered the Corsair 600T, but the impressions on HardForum don't seem particularly glowing. I really wish the Lian-Li PC-V1020 came in all black. Only the bigger PC-V2020X comes in all black, but that's a whopping $500! In the end, I wonder if I might just go with the Corsair 800D and...

    I'm not concerned with super portability. It's just something like the 800D seems ultra non-portable, due to its massive size. Honestly, I was opposed to the FT02 because I wanted to avoid the rotated design...but it's growing on me. There just don't seem to be many elegant alternative at all...

    Looks interesting, though not exactly elegant. :P I'd like the look to be more focused on brushed alluminum and glass, rather than plastic and grills.

    Case recommendation

    So, I need help picking out a case for my next build. The build will likely be housing a Sandy Bridge 2600XT, with a 120mm after market air cooler, and at least one high end GPU (GTX 580 / 6970). Anyways, I have a list of wants in my case. I know I may not be able to fulfill all of them, but...
