Because this old mechanical 5400rpm hdd is the slowest and loudest thing left in my gaming rig and battlefield 3 makes sure I know it.
 
I need this Corsair SSD because it's time that I finally experience all the advantages/benefits of having a SSD
 
I need a new corsair SSD because my current corsair SSD has a slew of problems
 
You want to know why I need a Corsair Force Series GT 180 GB in my rig? I'll tell you:

Because after building a dozen computers based on what I needed, I built this one based on what I wanted. Power. Speed. I wanted the lights to dim when I turned it on. I wanted games to beg me to load them. I wanted maxed out settings to say "please". So I started with a Corsair Obsidian Series 800D Full-Tower case. Why? Because cool things are big. Big, smooth, metal and versatile. They feel like quality and they smell like smirking vengeance. And I needed lots of room to store all this awesome. Then I crammed everything into it that said "Oh, you want it to smoke? Pick me." Asus Rampage III Extreme Edition motherboard just to get things rolling. Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition Processor. 12 GB of Corsair Dominator PC3-12800 (8-8-8-24) RAM. A couple of ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition video cards. Not one, not two but four Asus VE247H 24" monitors. Blu-Ray drive. Liquid cooling. And for power? A Corsair Professional Series HX1000 PSU.

See, what it boils down to is this. I've clocked my rig up to a comfortable 4.6 GHz because that's where it hums. You're giving these drives away because you want to promote the newest, biggest, baddest and fastest. They need to go into machines where bottlenecks are a fairy tale, rigs where they can open up that 555 MB/s read speed and really see what it can do.

You can't put a drive like this in an HP or an eMachine. The GT series SSD drive is beastly. It was made to do amazing things. Things that would make other SSDs cry and the companies that make them blush. It is a work of art, like a muscle car. It needs to be driven. It DESERVES to be driven. So send one to my rig. Let me push it the way it was designed to be. Let it hang out with the other cool components. Let's get together and see what the GT 180 can do in a machine that could have been built around it.

Or take pity on me for my delusions of grandeur and send me one anyway. :)

I need a Corsair SSD to keep my next rig full of Corsair goodness. I'm going back to their reliable ram & will try water cooling with an H80.
 
I'm building a kick-ass dual-head quad-shelf storage and VM beast that will run VMware ESXi on the two head nodes virtualising a NexentaCore install running in active-passive with automagic scripted failover to power the other VMs that will run load-balanced across the two heads. Those storage shelves consisting over 48 x 1TB Seagate Constellation ES.2s need some ZFS L2ARC read caching...and that's where this SSDs come in. Send me 1 (hell, send me all 5! :p) and give me some insanely fast read-speeds for my 30TB of RAID-Z3 data!!! :D
 
I would like a corsair SSD to replace a raid 0 platter setup. Thanks for the great promotion! This will give me something to look forward too until swtor comes out.
 
Because I've never owned an SSD. I'm still suffering 7200 rpm hard drives. Save me Corsair! Also, I <3 my Corsair PSU.
 
I need the Corsair GT 180GB because it would match my recently purchased Corsair AX1200 PSU I bought to fix my power issues.

CORSAIR ROCKS. Thanks for helping me get a 4.6ghz solid overclock :)
 
I have been wanting to upgrade my HD and would love to have a new SSD. Would be my very first one!
 
I've been meaning to get an SSD. Stuck with a 250G HD for awhile now and I still need to snag me a video card...
 
I need a Corsair GT SSD because I have never had a SSD and could really use the speed increase!
 
Will be needing one of these because my performance is HDD limited even though I tried rectifying it by running RAID 0. I'm still getting limited performance due to the storage; need an SSD now!

 
I've been wanting to try Z68's SSD caching feature for a while. After experiencing nothing but failure from OCZ I'd be happy to take an SSD from another brand out for a spin.
 
Would like this as a main drive to speed up my OS. Also my raid 0 western digitals are no spitting an error on drive 2. Also a few key games would be nice on this, and im tired of hearing friends brag about their SSD's.
 
I need a Corsair SSD to replace the platter drive in my 800D. Thanks to Corsair for doing this for us!
 
I don't have an SSD, and I've never had one. Everyone who has one says are the best thing since sliced bread. I MUST KNOW!
 
I would like a Corsair SSD because after working in IT for 20+ years and even working on laptops with SSDs.. it would be nice to finally own one myself.
