I spent quite a bit on silent shit because my brother is a wanker with super hearing and our house is made of rice paper.



Harner: I only got an ssd for the OS, so figured it wasn't worth splashing out on a really nice one, since it won't get much use. If it fails, I can just reinstall windows on a new drive.

I would like to buy a bigger ssd, but I just can't afford it. I'm getting a 40gb ssd though for windows, and a z68 mobo, so I assume windows will take up like 10gb, I might set up intel smart response with the other 30gb, which would be a nice medium between ssd speed and hdd capacity.
Apparently it increases speed by up to 60% compared to systems with no ssds. So yeah that's what I'm thinking.

Also I know nothing about ssds so i just got the basic one.

I would say the same about my current pc tbh...

The problem is my brother apparently has super hearing and also can feel the 'vibrations' from the pc and it stops him sleeping.
So yeah I need it totally silent to avoid arguments.
