Have any of you gone through the OCZ Vertex 2 RMA process for the 25/34nm chip problem? I'm wondering how long it took you to get your drive back once OCZ received it?
They got my drive on Friday. I'm not expecting an update for a few days but I'd like to get an idea on how long this might take.

Actually looks like they are out of stock at the moment. They had em yesterday. You can still get them in-store (at least in Cincy)

Thank you very much, the most important thing is that all the parts are compatible :]

My replacement SSD (Samsung 470) just died the same way as before but I was able to see the BSOD message as it went down...
Kernel_Data_Inpage_Error
I'm starting to wonder if these reliability issues are caused by my first-gen P67 motherboard. My SSD is connected to a SATA 3.0 port (which shouldn't be affected by the recall issue) but it seems really odd that I'd have two disc rear errors in just two months. And I know this probably has nothing to do with my problem, but whenever I get this computer up and running again, I'm going to leave the paging file on the SSD just for peace of mind.
Thoughts?

Hmm. The three internal drives aren't showing any free space. Does that seem strange to anyone else?

Yeah, those SLI issues are game breaking for me. Would you have gotten something like this:

Given what we know, I'd think about swapping the P67 board ASAP, or if it has a MARVELL controller, just use that. Do you have another SATA capable computer you can toss the SSD into? Something tells me it's not the SSD..

Sadly, no.rocK` said:
I was hoping to wait for Z68 before getting a replacement MB but it looks like I'll have to pull the trigger now if I want my computer back.
You need to manually overclock. Those utilities are notorious for being almost useless.JackEtc said:

Newegg deals for the day. Spinpoint F3 1TB for $55. Yummy.

Has Microcenter started issuing replacement P67 motherboards yet?

The RAM seems to be fine and attempts to repair/rebuild the MBR haven't been successful with either SSD. And according to Microsoft Answers this could be an issue with the paging file, which I moved off of the SSD and onto the HDD like many people seem to do.Hazaro said:

Does anybody make an "inverted L" SATA cable? One where the notch points away from the cable itself?
Pics of my build:
I got an email saying they should have the revised boards in stock, though not widely available till early April... and to contact your local store for details on the replacement process. So I'd give 'em a call and see if they have your model of board in stock.mclaren777 said:

That looks sweet.
I have gone through much hassle while building my computer :
1) first, I wasn't able to boot from the DVD reader and my HDD was said to be missing.
2) the Win 7 x64 iso I burnt on a DVD wasn't booting because I didn't write an ISO file (took me days to figure out the problem)
3) my monitor wasn't able to display in any rez superior to 1600 x 1200
All of them are now solved, which gives me hope for my next issue :
My monitor sudenly stopped working and displayed the message (D-SUB POWER MANAGMENT) and turned black right after. Now, everytime I try to hook it up a PC, it says the same. When it is on, and not linked to anything, it acts normally.
What may be the problem GAF ? I sincerely hope it's the last piece of shit I go through, really.

I've got my 955BE to 3.6ghz. Everything after that gets a lottt more unstable. Going to have to do some more to try and get it up to maybe 3.8ghz.
Not bad for my first overclock so far though - nothing has gone up in flames!
I got my 6950 unlocked to 6970 speeds fairly easily, as well.

Bought more ram for my PC, thus bringing the total to 8GB. Made one hell of a difference.
Also...
Get rid of that LED light crap.
Alright...everything solidified on my new rig. Full details of what I built is here: linky
i5 2500k @ 4.7 GHz, 1.36v - temps in high 70s C under Prime95 load (verified with 7+ hour run)
(click to enlarge)
AMD HD 6950 2GB flashed to AMD HD 6970 2GB (verified with 15min of Furmark)
(click to enlarge)
Really diggin' it. Thanks for all the help and advice, folks.

Are anyone else eying out the Thermaltake Level 10 GT?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQYtIim3l7w&feature=fvwrel
It does not look as sleek as the Level 10, but then again, it's not at that crazy price either. I also know that the HAF is a better bargain, but I like the asthetics of this one. I currently have a Lanboy Air, and I sort of regret getting that. I thought it looked cool and different, but as people suspected it does indeed get filled up with dust, and also it's fan makes it very loud.
It goes without saying that it was a LAN machine, but I was surprised about the plastic parts. I'm not convinced the hammock bungie jump hard drives either. It looks cool I guess, and I actually managed to fit it inside my Ikea table, but it's simply just not what's best for my component.
Finding a case with 8 expansion slots have been difficult. Choices are more scare. I need to have my 470's in first and third PCI-E slot, because they become to warm when right next to each other. Giant meh!

Anyone know of a good HTPC front end (like XBMC, Media Portal, Boxee, etc.) that would work well with a large library of Steam games?
I know Steam is supposed to be doing their big screen update thing at some point and that will probably bring in a new wave of plugins in various states of functionality, but if I was looking to turn my desktop into an HTPC within the next week or so, playing a variety of media but also primarily games off of a Steam account how would I go about that?

Though I wouldn't buy one just because I'm not a fan of the aesthetics (totally subjective), it got a killer review on Overclocker'sClub
This is my dream case. Will go that route once I dig up enough courage (and extra $$) to finally do a watercooled build.
