Unless you planning on moving the computer everyday don't worry about it. My ssd just kinda hangs in there.

Or you can get one of these http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3683

You need to get a bracket from 2.5" to 3.5"
Heres an example http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=210_901

cable ties work well, ssd's can handle getting bumped around as there are no moving parts.

cable ties it was, lol. thanks for the help. will get a cradle in the near future though

Remember - Just cause he pays for it - dont mean its aint true love.

I thought I was booked out on tuesdays?

Anyway, Velcro works for ssd's aswell.

Oh god all the DIY's are here. Just buy the proper thing it only $10-20 big deal

1. Pour some pre-mixed wheat-bix and milk inside your PC case, on top of any pre-installed HDD's.
   
2. Allow it to dry until it has reached a thick glutinous consistancy (approx 2 hrs).
   
3. Once dry, it will form a moulded layer onto which you can place the SSD.
   
4. Carefully mount the SSD into the spongy mass inside, then affix POWER and SATA connections.
   
5. Finally, close up the side of the case and give it a burl!

could have suggested nail gun to the wall?

I like mine.... I , I mean "the Bogans" idea better

Sledge hammer

Nothing really. That was basically the system I designed 3 months ago.

If you can afford it, a better i7.

And out of preference, I prefer the Kandalf case to the Soprano, but meh.

Re-Post.



What would you change?

My post was in reply to this one, before you removed it.

:] Added the Graphics card.

If you were looking at a 5870 go the sahire vapore-x for 10 bucks more.

Saphire runs cooler with better bios than xfx ( I should know I am running
Saphire bios in my cards which help by 5 degs and give me a better OC) and it is pre-overclocked to 875/5000.

A more stable card than xfx

If you can wait 2 months for a card the 6000 series will be out and prices
will come down for the 5870.

Also look into a better cooler like this

That looks kickass Zoomieeee, I think i may wait for the new graphics cards now that you pointed it out :]

I'd buy the 24 inch monitor bro you won't regret it.

that system will be out of date when the sandy bridge chips are released(no upgrade for i7 cpu) with a new cpu socket. new ati cards start from the end of next month

Released when?

the sandybridge chips are due for q1 2011(january 4th-7th)

How much you reckon?

The sandy bridge chips look good BUT you don't want to wait until Jan/feb do you lucky?


Spend the money on an i7 for now and if in 6 months you want to upgrade buy a new mobo and chip set. If you wait until the next big thing come along then you'll never actually get a pc!

I get annoyed by people who say "that'll be out of date soon" The i7's will be around for a few years yet.
