Just bought this spec :D

[Yamikotai]

So I just bought this spec I'll be putting 2x8GB 1600MHz into it as well as my 120GB OCZ Agility 3. Review, pics and benchmarks incoming as soon as it arrives in an estimated 10 days (though I expect it will be slightly longer, there seems to be a 'september rush' with all the student loans coming through).
Oh, and I also picked up some MX-4 thermal paste off Amazon which I'll put on (I'll run and report burn tests before and after for that).

If anyone's wondering why I bought two power adaptors, it's because I tend to always one plugged in and routed through the back of my desk, and one always left in my backpack. Saves time and saves me from the times when I forget my charger.
Also, it might seem odd but while I've been lurking and occasionally posting while waiting for the opportunity to order, I've noticed there's a great community here. I think you can all look forward to/flee in dread from me sticking round here

nice mate, might be a good idea to update the firmware on the ssd before you install ya OS onto it.

I definitely will. I have a 60GB Agility 3 I bought for my desktop around June last year - had sooo many issues with it until I updated the firmware. Luckily the SSD arrived several days ago so I've plenty of time to update it using my desktop before the Genesis arrives.

Still waiting for it - 7th working day now on Processing. Might not get it in time for uni... Still, should be worth the wait, though.

Shouldn't be too long - you ordered the day after me (I ordered the 12th) and my laptop is getting built

1 or 2 days at most

 

[Yamikotai]

Cool, thanks Looking forward to it.

And I see you went the same route as I have and are doing the RAM +HDD yourself

Edit: Also cool, it just went into Building.

 

[forbiddenloli]

Yeah - ram will be this friday and HDD next month (gonna use acronis HDD clone to copy the entire HDD to the momentus )

Should be done and dispatched for both of us tomorrow at the latest

I bought my SSD+RAM the same day as my laptop so they arrived ages ago At least I have time to update the SSD's firmware.
