Thus if you get shitty parts it's your own fault?]]>Jan 4th 2010 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/refreshed-cyberpower-black-mamba-gaming-rig-downright-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/refreshed-cyberpower-black-mamba-gaming-rig-downright-awesome/I've never bought from them, for the reasons I listed above, but you can't pick what brand of PSU you get, or what specific brand of graphics cards you get (just because you pick an ATi card, doesn't mean they're all made the same. Sapphire, Asus, HIS, and all the other brands are not made equal), not to mention they usually just give you the cheapest POS Foxconn motherboard that they have. And Kingston SSDs? Those are some of the worst out there. The only reputable brands are Intel and OCZ, but of course those cost too much for CyberPower and thus they'd never use them.]]>Jan 4th 2010 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/refreshed-cyberpower-black-mamba-gaming-rig-downright-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/refreshed-cyberpower-black-mamba-gaming-rig-downright-awesome/A bit off topic here, but as long as we're complaining about horrible CS, OCZ really is the worst i have ever dealt with. I work at an E-tailer and every single experience we have had with them has been horrendous, from constantly shifting lead times to not one single product we have got from them works correctly.
Intel And Supertalent are really the only 2 options.]]>Jan 4th 2010 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/refreshed-cyberpower-black-mamba-gaming-rig-downright-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/refreshed-cyberpower-black-mamba-gaming-rig-downright-awesome/http://anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=3702
Anandtech has pretty much written the book on SSDs, and if you need to consult any guide on which brand to pick, this is your site. OCZ's new Vertex 2 Pro, which although hasn't been released yet, is slated to be just as good, if not better in some regards (like it's overall life expectancy) than Intel's X25 series.]]>Jan 4th 2010 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/refreshed-cyberpower-black-mamba-gaming-rig-downright-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/refreshed-cyberpower-black-mamba-gaming-rig-downright-awesome/Building is very easy too, it's almost like playing with expensive legos that require a screwdriver.]]>Jan 4th 2010 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/refreshed-cyberpower-black-mamba-gaming-rig-downright-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/refreshed-cyberpower-black-mamba-gaming-rig-downright-awesome/Jan 4th 2010 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/refreshed-cyberpower-black-mamba-gaming-rig-downright-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/refreshed-cyberpower-black-mamba-gaming-rig-downright-awesome/
faster (in some respects), reliable, less prone to failure, read write times etc. no moving parts = huge bonus.]]>Jan 4th 2010 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/refreshed-cyberpower-black-mamba-gaming-rig-downright-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/refreshed-cyberpower-black-mamba-gaming-rig-downright-awesome/
SSD's are faster. Much faster. read this:

Thank you for the response! I thought speed must be part of it...]]>Jan 4th 2010 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/refreshed-cyberpower-black-mamba-gaming-rig-downright-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/refreshed-cyberpower-black-mamba-gaming-rig-downright-awesome/Jan 4th 2010 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/refreshed-cyberpower-black-mamba-gaming-rig-downright-awesome/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/refreshed-cyberpower-black-mamba-gaming-rig-downright-awesome/Jan 5th 2010 12:48AM
