how do you give cards away?
i have a few doubles that you can have.

that same trading window we used for that coupon

but I don't want people to give me their cards :whoa: (unless I need them :shaq: )

just sell them. if you manage to get around $2.50, you can get a 'free' game next week during the Holiday Sale. that's how I bought Hotline Miami. or use the money to buy cards you want. if you only use what's in your Steam Wallet, you can make it so you never spend 'real' money (assuming you don't put real money in your Steam Wallet)

get your Steam Level™ up :troll:

that heatsink is crazy

does that case have a vent for the psu to pull air from the bottom?

I would feel kinda weird about those ssd's resting on top of the psu. probably be better off just on the bottom of the case, in front of the psu

:wow: my RMA for the motherboard i sent back to newegg just got approved. was worried cause I bent one of the pins on the usb connector that they would reject it. hopefully the next one they send me actually works

yeah my psu pulls air from the bottom, theres a vent+dust filter down there.

i took a crap long time figuring where to put it. i use to have them by the drive bay area, but i got the fan + most of my "cable management" there now....

i originally wanted to velcro it to the back of the case where most of the cables are, but molex cables were annoying and couldnt get them to sit at proper angles. im leaving my ssds there temporarily until my brain figures out a new way for all this.

don't you have docking stations for drives in the front of the case under the DVDR?
i put my SSD under my HDD in a drive dock.

yeah this little hdd "cage" my case came with, has 4 slots only, which are used by my 3 mechanical drives and 1 hole left for routing my cables :smugfavre:

besides, my sata power connectors are only 3 headed, so doesnt really make sense to bunch 2 of the power connectors. rather route them somewhere cause ssds can mount anywhere, in any direction, in any crack and crevice
