o didn't see the funny side tbh just maybe the way you said it but you know forgotten about now i know so what you think so far tom ?

 

[tinytomlogan]

I fooking hate the case with a passion, still think the same I did when I reviewed it.

Youve a lot of work to do getting things looking good too.

 

[GROUCHY]

yeah its a no a bad case it just huge and is easy to work with the 5.2 inch bays a aluminum sheet going over that and a few more things need to b done like the middle shelf more vinyl more holes and stuff so yeah it is going aight but the case you either hate it or love it its like with a lot of cases out there

sounds promising
but the psu is massive overkill... the 760i would be more than enough...
i'd change the ssd brand if it was my build... get a samsung, intel, corsair, crucial...
and go for 2133 ram or higher ivy loves it

well i can allways oc the ram and its only 1866 ghz wich is more then enough with 16 gb of ram and the psu may b overkill but i am running like 2 pumps leds neons 2 gpus OC the shitttttt out the cpu gpus and i understand about the ssds but there way faster im more of the read type then the price type tbh but ye thanks for your opinion but like i have my opinion and its nice to have some one to say whats on there mind so thank you

 

[GROUCHY]

yeah forgot i took pics of the middle shelf bracket front side and then the bottum took of them bends for the sound proofin and vinyling and decided to take the case completley apart for the 140 mm holes and three 20mm holes for the back panul and the bottum panul i need psu hole cut out and 2 120 cut outs all fun xD

The SSD is more to be on the save site, OCZ have some problem to stay a life. And that is all

okay whats the problem bud as i can change it if i feel too but alot of people i know not having any troubles :S

 

[Feronix]

OCZ are known for not making the most reliable products (SSDs, PSUs, etc)
I think most people on this forum would agree.

It's just better to go with an Intel, Samsung, Corsair or Crucial

 

[GROUCHY]

hmmm okay many thanks guys im gonna have a look and see wha i can do thanks guys

 

[GROUCHY]

well 320 quid for 560 read 512gb ocz vertex 4 i cant complain tbh thats just right space i need for games and the 128 gb ssd one for 90 quid just for the os i cant complain tbh guys you lot got me worried now hahaha

 

[Feronix]

I must admit the speeds are good, but they're just not very reliable. In the end its your choice but I'd personally rather spend a tad more, or even use somewhat slower drives over buying an OCZ drive

 

[GROUCHY]

well im going for price i cant realy afford like over 500 quid just for like 400 - 500 gb of corsair b enice but for 310 POUNDS for 512 gb of 560 meg read sata 3 6 gb i cant refuse xD as im more focos on the board psu gpu and cpu

 

[CPMFW]
