Wow, I just won a Intel 520 SSD!!! Wednesday, March 28, 2012 6:57 PM (permalink)

Holy crap! I still cannot believe this. I haven't won anything in my whole life, especially not this nice!! OCN was having a contest for a free Intel 520 series SSD's by answering a few questions.

http://www.overclock.net/...el-520-series-ssd/0_20

I threw in my entry/post just for the heck of it, knowing full well I wasn't gonna win, but figured, what the hell.

Well, I just checked my PM's at OCN after not being in for a few days and about 30 mins ago, I got this announcement sent to me on bottom of page!

http://www.overclock.net/...520-series-ssd/1960_20

I cannot believe my luck! I've been actually thinking about trying my first SSD just to see what the hub bub is about but I wasn't sure when I wanted to spend the money for one causing im saving up for a GTX 680 but now, I don't have too!!! Wow, wow wow! I'm so freaking excited and happy!! I need to do a bunch of research now no how to properly setup one of these things! Wooooo at long last, I finally win something and something thats computer related and sweet!!

What do you mean by "still"? 120gb is plenty of SSD space for a system drive. MORE than enough - I'm only running a 90gb system drive, and have tons of disk space left on it.

Friday, March 30, 2012 11:13 AM (permalink) What I mean by 'still' is that anything is an awesome win regardless of size. The person asked which drive was won. No matter the size it is 'still' an awesome win. Thus the comment. I've only got a 60gb SSD for booting. Everything else is regular spindle drives.
