| Anyone got a place I can download a legit Windows 7 Ultimate ISO with SP1? I could do it myself but I just don't have the time and want to do a reinstall soon. Thanks. |

| Well I see others using the same chipset and drive without problems so I'm not sure whats going on. Going to try and wipe the drive and reinstall windows again this weekend and see what that does. |

| Don't worry guys, just save up for an SSD and all these problems will dissapear! Well thats what I did and turns out my ALL my sata drives have just as fast or faster write speeds than my new Corsair SSD. WTF? Read speeds are good but writes are terrible. which drive did you get? CORSAIR FORCE 120GB |

| Well that new Seagate drive lasted awhile .. a few months and it crapped out on me. Not sure if I'll even bother to RMA it .. might just called it a right off of 60 bucks. Seagate has retarded shipping requirements for hard drives. By the time I pay to send it back and get the packaging I'll have sp... |

| I'm seriously thinking on the 690 advanced .. price is better than the 600T which will allow me to get a SSD as well. No side window is fine and not a deal breaker .. as long as it cools decent and is quiet that's all i want. |

| Yeah I think these cases are the loudest ones ever. Lots of room but I think noise wise that hurts them and makes them louder. I hate to buy a new case right now I was saving that money for an SSD but noise is something i really don't like when spending hours working around the system. |
