Yet another SSD question

[thinbalion]

I'm thinking of getting an SSD to run my OS, looking at something like 40G one, such as this one.

I will be running Windows Home Premium 64bit on it, so I should definitely have enough space on it.

Beyond whether that is a good choice, my question is what is a good cooling case for mounting it. I'm looking at this one, but maybe there's something better I'm missing.

Also final question, what I would be looking at as far as maintaining this drive once I got it.

Thank you!

I don't think you'll need a cooling case or even need to mount it in a desktop case, but the one you pointed out looks very functional and is a reasonable price. The Intel SSD doesn't generate much heat, but for a desktop, if you want to save money, it's not a bad idea to just take the internal out of the case and just duct tape or picture mounting putty it where there is the least amount of stress on the SATA and power cable. The internal weighs about as much as a RAM stick, so you can really put it anywhere.

An SSD will require zero cooling. Zero.

I bought 2 Intel 80GB SSDs and that same mobile rack. It's a great combo!!!
