I just had bad luck with my HDD's as I had to RMA 2 of them shame the data had no back ups so I lost 80gb of music half of which is very scarce to find on the interwebz!

Upcoming changes are a 2nd monitor, another 2x2gb of dominators and a Corsair H50 enclosed water cooler. New mobo maybe too.

Still have yet to begin to try and download it again.
