Fair enough, RAID0 them and they'll fly. :)

I wouldn't personally put loads of games on SSD's anyway. as they eat space, just having the exe's on the SSD makes it load a bit quicker.. I would just put the OS and some other programs on the SSD and the rest (including games) on a big mech HDD (2tb, 3Tb).
 
will a mech hdd fit ok in the parvum where could i mount it? ill have to read up about raid as i dont have a clue like i said im still working through my own first build and ive had 3 mates following my log and they want me to build them pcs aswell now lol :/ ... all experience tho and im really enjoying it :D
 
It appearently take upto 2 3.5" drives.... THough i don't see where either. :)

RAID is a way of using 2 drives together increase read and write speeds.. Sounds ideal but it has its down side. :) Give RAID0 a research. :)
 
thankyou man its because of your project i also want to have a go at this your builds were one of the reasons i fancied building a pc instead of buying one so im not sure if i should thankyou or hate you as all my pay cheques are going into my first build and now im doing one for a mate aswell :P
 
Haha, thanks man! Glad people like them, I'm hoping to do a lot more next year if I can get the funds together, I've got a few nice ideas which include a custom made parvum system ;)

If ya need any help with anything, just drop me a trust message and il get back to you ASAP, il jbe doing some on the matx parvum I'm currently working atm on Thursday, got to get the motherboard today!
