 OCZ Agility SSD
|
An SSD is a spectacular speed improvement.
2015-10 – I didn’t mention this, but I believe the problem was due to a half-inserted power cable. The hard drive was sortof dangling around, stuffed into a corner of my case because I was too cheap to buy a bracket for it. My bad. =( Also, it appears that Toshiba has bought OCZ.

Amazing!
Helps with HDDs and general acoustic issues. The newer version of this case is even better, since it doesn’t feature any “speed holes”. =/

A fair graphics card, but with poor 2D acceleration compared to my Matrox Mystique 220.
 It's about the fans..

I grew sick and tired of how loud computers had been getting, ever since CDROMs and CPU fans, faster HDDs and fan-requiring Graphics Acceleration.
