Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler (RR-212E-20PK-R1)
Reviewed by AlDyer

Hmm, all good points! I have fared just fine with my 80gb drive these last 3 years, just due to the fact that we're always tied into the work network as well, so maybe it's best I just go straight SSD.

I appreciate all the responses, I'll be sure to rep all who posted!

You certainly won't regret the purchase. I can log in and be working in Outlook within 10 seconds. Beautiful.
