Here is what I was thinking about getting:609088. I am going to be going with a 1920X1200 res Dell UltraSharp U2410 24-inch Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor. Please tell me what you think. I know one area that is highly up for debate is the SSD. I want to go with a larger size capacity because I tend to have over 120 GB on it at any given time.

No you don't want the hailstorm for air cooled system, for air cooled systems the haf x gives you the best airflow and you want that specially with sli.

Dutty try and post in the same thread as your original, so we can see/remember all the stuff we told you.

as for ssd size, your hdd setup is suppose to be like this:

HDD1 = fast small drive: os/apps/games

HDD2 = regular large drive: media/personal/work file storage

so are you saying you have more then 120GB in os/apps/games?

keep in mind you can always add more ssd as hdd3, hdd4, etc to install more games on as you go.

yes, right now, on my laptop, I am running approximately 150GB. I have a bunch of other stuff saved to my external HD, which was my secondary HD in my old gaming computer, I just put a external housing on it and USB connected it to my laptop to use it.I try not to clutter up my main HD.

But it sure seems like as time goes on, windows apps and other programs just seem to take up more and more space. This is a Dell Laptop, so there is probably some things on it that are taking up a great deal of space that were put on there by Dell.

Is there another option for a good airflow system? I am not a big fan of the looks on the Haf X and I like that this tower has all those hotswap bays. I know you can get one installed in the options though. I just was looking for more options.

haf x has hot swap also, there are no other cases that have the same airflow as haf x. there are other cases that have good flow but not as good has haf x.
