I really took my time with this build, I have no idea why the SSD picture looks so damn dusty. I just got this together about two weeks ago.

Azza 1000 Solano Case
Asus P7P55 LX Board
Intel i5 4.2 Ghz Quad
8 Gb DDR3 1600 Crucial Ballistix 8-8-8-21
2x250 gb Western Digitial HDD Caviar Blue
2x64 gb Crucial SSD (RAID 0) (Free hot swap bay thanks to NewEgg)
Arctic Freezer v2 Heatsink
EVGA GTS 250
850w Thermaltake Modular
Windows 7 Professional x64

(Im selling one of my SSD's, two is unnecessary and I need books for the spring semester)

Yea, it doesn't bother me, they face the wall so I don't see them.

I'm just curious. How are you enjoying those SSDs? I personally love mine, probably too much...

I love them, I dont load them with much. Like everyone else, they're primarily used for the OS (page filing disabled etc) and my applications. It's good to see when Windows boots quicker then my BIOS.

Nice looking build man. Case looks like a sexier antec 900 with cable management.

If you don't mind me asking, how is that AZZA case? I've been seeing a lot of them for cheap on newegg, but I'm not too sure about the quality of them, being a new name and all. What's your impression of your case?

I haven't received it yet. I am really excited. But how do you guys think it will handle Flight Simulator X on max settings?

I've read good things about them. Here's a few posts about that full sized one (Solano?)

Great looking build man! Making me think I should do something about the cable management (or total lack thereof) going on in my case.

The quality is great. Everything installed without a hitch. The top fan on the case is a tad brittle but i haven't had the first issue, it came well packaged as well and with a $40 rebate of an already ridiculously low price, who can complain.
