How is this drive? I currently have a 64GB Crucial M4 and a 1TB Spinpoint F3. I have my OS on the M4 but I would also like an SSD Cache, which I can't do with the OS on the SSD Link to sale here. Newegg ($184) link here. I hear that as long as you update the firmware to version 2.13 before...

I'm definitely not comfortable drilling into my card reader. Anyway, Newegg reviewers said that that bay adapter would fit my card reader (well, the model before it which has the same screw hole locations). So I'm gonna pick that up for $5 rather than risk anything by drilling. Thanks!

I found this bay adapter on Newegg for $5 plus shipping. Think it will work?

There are two mounting holes on the bottom, but they're both only around half a centimeter deep and they're slightly offset from the existing holes; enough to interfere with the existing holes if I did drill. See here and here. I also took a picture of the side mounting holes in the bay adapter...

There physically isn't metal on the bay anywhere near where the mounting holes are on the card reader, so I can't secure it at all. I would drill if I could.

I just bought this 3.5" card reader for my new build. Problem is, it wasn't compatible with the 5.25" to 3.5" bay adapter that came with my case. A quick browse on Newegg led me to this bay adapter (visually, the mounting holes look like they line up), but I would like to find a bay adapter...

I have a 64GB Crucial M4 SSD and a 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 HDD in my new gaming PC, and I'm not exactly sure how to optimize them to work together. As far as I know, I have three options, leave them separate, RAID, and SSD Caching (I have a Z68 Motherboard). What are the advantages of each and...

Well my GPU is about 3.5" longer than yours, and it looks like you have around that much room between your card and the drive bays (I saw pics of your computer). Do you know how much bigger the Guardian is than the Apollo? Also, I've heard that Aftermarket CPU Coolers have a hard time fitting...

I'm thinking of getting this case for my gaming build, but I'm concerned that my GPU of choice, the MSI Lighting Radeon HD 6970, won't fit without cutting into the drive bays. Can anyone confirm this?

Any idea if that comes with the free copy of Trackmania 2? Deal's all over the internet, like here on Newegg

I go to Northeastern in Boston if that helps

Good to know, thanks! Anything special I need to do to deactivate it, or do I just clean install over it with my OEM Premium?

How does anyone feel about this case? It's surprisingly cheap, has good cable management (one of my problems with NZXT cases), looks great, and is good at cooling.

I'm looking to build a new gaming pc (thread here). I have Windows 7 Pro through MSDNAA loaded on my laptop. I would like to transfer the license from my laptop to my future desktop and revert my laptop to OEM Win7 Premium (which I have a disk+license key for). Is this possible or will I need to...

Yes I'm still in school. I'll go ask them. Thanks for that! By the way, is there any way to check what the combo deals are at any time? I'll be honest, I picked that case because of looks. I really like blue LEDs. The Newegg picture doesn't do it justice This picture is much better. Is there...
