What's Your Next Non GPU / CPU Upgrade?
I've been thinking about this for a little bit of time already and I'm curious to know what that will be for you guys.
As for myself, I have a small list. Aside from the Keyboard / Mouse being next, I don't have any particular order for these.
- Wireless Keyboard / Mouse
- 2x 2TB (or larger) HDDs for RAID 1 to be used as secure data storage
- 2x 256GB (perhaps 512GB) SSDs for RAID 0 to replace my current 3x 320GB RAID 0 for games
- 3.5in USB 3.0 card reader
- PSU
- Case
- Motherboard
Well, looking at this list, it doesn't seem to be a "small" list now that I've actually written all this stuff down. LOL

I haven't given it too much thought about details but I would want these once the xmas debt is paid off:
- SSD
- Another hdd
- new speakers
- additional monitor (need to somehow make desk room)
- and if I come into a lot of money (helloooo tax return), maybe build a dedicated test rig.
Ah, if I were rich, I want a dedicated nerd room (that's not my bedroom) complete with the latest and greatest tech, multiple computers, a projector, LotR movie posters... aaahh
