    i only use asus and gigabyte when it comes to boards and graphics. only other brand i would consider is DFI, but in the end i couldnt be bothered.

    get an SSD for your operating drive while you're at it.

    they are a bit pricey, and hopefully one day soon they will replace conventional platter HDD's. would think they will be more stable due to having no moving parts. i've seen HDD's fail within months, but never seen a flash drive fail. i've got a 32mb lying around somewhere that still works. its 6 years old.

    i been meaning to do that since i lost about 8 years worth of stuff Click here to enlarge
    ive never even looked into it... is it hard to do?
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    Yeah and the place we took it to offered to install a new HDD...

    HDD - $(145, 500GB, $37.50 installation fee)
    Remove all the 'apparent viruses from the second HDD :/ ($150)
    and install the old O/S that was on there beforehand, which I got for free... ($150)

    I was like uhh no i'll just take the original fee for finding the problem etc.

    Man thats insane prices!
