Why is there no join date requirement on this giveaway? People who join just to enter this giveaway can win? Hilarious

1) Do you currently own an SSD? Are you planning on purchasing one or more in the near future?

Yes I own an SSD. Not planning on purchasing in the near future. 120GB is big enough for now.

2) If you’re planning on purchasing an SSD, which brand(s) are you considering and why (price, performance, reliability, brand, etc.)?

Crucial, Samsung, Intel. Performance and reliability is all I care about.

3) How often do you purchase a new PC (every 12 months or less, every 12-18 months, 18-24 months, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?

That's hard to say. Usually just replace parts.

1) Do you currently own an SSD? Are you planning on purchasing one or more in the near future?
I currently own an OCZ Vertex 2 60GB SSD. I'll probably buy another SSD next time I build a computer.

2) If you’re planning on purchasing an SSD, which brand(s) are you considering and why (price, performance, reliability, brand, etc.)?
I currently have an OCZ and love it, I'd also consider a corsair though because I've heard their also pretty fast and I'd consider buying an intel because I've heard they're very reliable.

3) How often do you purchase a new PC (every 12 months or less, every 12-18 months, 18-24 months, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?
Over 3 years, I built my current rig around christmas of 08 and have upgraded it countless times since then. The only thing thats actually three years old in it is the processor(Core 2 Quad q9300), a stick of ram, the case and the dvd drive. I plan on building a new rig based around ivy bridge and Kepler hopefully within the next year or so.

4) (For Canadian Residents) What is 125 plus 45 divided by 3 minus 13?
I'm not Canadian as I live in the midwest, but the answer is 43 and 2/3.

1) Do you currently own an SSD? Are you planning on purchasing one or more in the near future?
Yes, I'll be buying another one when I make the jump to SATA3.

2) If you’re planning on purchasing an SSD, which brand(s) are you considering and why (price, performance, reliability, brand, etc.)?
Probably Intel for reliability. I hate it when my data gets destroyed.

3) How often do you purchase a new PC (every 12 months or less, every 12-18 months, 18-24 months, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?
Instead of a fresh PC, I usually upgrade. So I guess over 3 years would be a fresh PC from scratch.

4) (For Canadian Residents) What is 125 plus 45 divided by 3 minus 13?
127

1) Do you currently own an SSD? Are you planning on purchasing one or more in the near future?
Yes, I currently own a Crucial M4 128 GB. I plan on purchasing more than one SSD in the near future.

2) If you’re planning on purchasing an SSD, which brand(s) are you considering and why (price, performance, reliability, brand, etc.)?
Crucial, Intel, and Samsung. The reason why I am considering an SSD from one of these companies is because of performance, and reliability.

3) How often do you purchase a new PC (every 12 months or less, every 12-18 months, 18-24 months, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?
I purchase a new PC every 2-3 years.

4) (For Canadian Residents) What is 125 plus 45 divided by 3 minus 13?
I'm not Canadian because I live in North America. If I had to answer this question, then I would use PEMDAS in order to solve it.
This better play crysis or else it's going through the window.

1) Do you currently own an SSD? Are you planning on purchasing one or more in the near future? I own one only because I got a good deal on it

2) If you’re planning on purchasing an SSD, which brand(s) are you considering and why (price, performance, reliability, brand, etc.)?

Considering the one I bought has a year worth of use on it and still has 99% life left I will say Intel. I consider price and reliability at the top followed by speed.

3) How often do you purchase a new PC (every 12 months or less, every 12-18 months, 18-24 months, 2-3 years, over 3 years)? 18-24 months.

1) Do you currently own an SSD? Are you planning on purchasing one or more in the near future?
I currently don't own a SSD but I've been wanting to buy one. So yeah I do plan on buying one in the future,

2) If you’re planning on purchasing an SSD, which brand(s) are you considering and why (price, performance, reliability, brand, etc.)?
I am considering Samsung, Crucial, Intel or Corsair. Reason being they are all good brands, have SSDs with good performance and are very reliable.

3) How often do you purchase a new PC (every 12 months or less, every 12-18 months, 18-24 months, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?
I buy PC parts whenever something new comes out on the market and is worth the money to upgrade to. So I would say I upgrade each parts probably within 12-18 months.

1) Do you currently own an SSD? Are you planning on purchasing one or more in the near future?
No. Yes. At least one in the future, I will be getting a new case first though.
2) If you’re planning on purchasing an SSD, which brand(s) are you considering and why (price, performance, reliability, brand, etc.)?
OCZ, maybe Corsair cause I like the brand. Patriot has mad sales on right now for them. I care about price first, looking to spend approx $150, no more before tax.
3) How often do you purchase a new PC (every 12 months or less, every 12-18 months, 18-24 months, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?
I don't purchase PC. I build it. Like everyone on this site? And I'd say 2-3 years for me to replace things.
4) (For Canadian Residents) What is 125 plus 45 divided by 3 minus 13?
125+45=170/3=56.666666667-13=43.6666666667

Canadians only skill testing question? :/ I always feel like a 2nd class human in the world with all the "canadian residents only, jump through these loops" or "not available in Canada".

1) Do you currently own an SSD? Are you planning on purchasing one or more in the near future?
I currently do not, but am hoping to purchase one soon biggrin.gif

2) If you’re planning on purchasing an SSD, which brand(s) are you considering and why (price, performance, reliability, brand, etc.)?
Intel for sure, they've become the industry standard for quality and performance with SSD's.

3) How often do you purchase a new PC (every 12 months or less, every 12-18 months, 18-24 months, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?
3-4 years depending on how much initial investment goes into the build.

4) (For Canadian Residents) What is 125 plus 45 divided by 3 minus 13?
Not Canadian.
