Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I'll definitely consider CM690-II.
One other question:
WD1002FAEX is SATA III, but that doesn't seem to mean much? For example, Passmark benchmarks:
Passmark: WD1002FAEX
Should I just go with something like:
Passmark: HD103SJ
How much these benchmarks really mean?

I don't have time for a lot of gaming, so only the biggest hits, genre not important. Examples from this year: Starcraft 2, Mass Effect 2, Modern Warfare 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age, Fallout 3. Good visual quality, of course ;)
Sure, if you compare SSD to any other HDD, the cost seems atrocious. My question would be - which is better: a system for 600$ with an SSD, o a system for 600$ without an SSD? Because that's all that matters to me (especially, when I have a hard money limit set by the company). If I'll save...

Thanks for all the advice, I can't get Coolter Master Elite case here, so I'll probably go with Antec 300. And I'm still probably getting an SSD - don't need that much storage anyway, and from what I hear, it's a huge speed boost.

~600$ (actually - 2000lt, but I looked up prices both at newegg and at local shop), can go a little higher (up to 650$) if it's really...
I was really only thinking about another 22" until:

That size for that cost, really? Now I'm thinking about getting one of those and putting my 226BW in portrait mode. Pixel pitch is similar (22: 1680x1050 - 0.282, 25.5: 1920x1200 -...
Currently I have a single display (Samsung 226BW). I'm doing a little renovation and I'll finally have enough deskspace to have a 2nd display. My first thought was to get either another 226BW or 226CW - it would fit well and look good. There's two problems with that:
1. 226BW and 226CW are hard...
