Definitely the Crucial. The Crucial BX100 series is great. OCZ's SSDs I wouldn't trust.
I got the crucial M550 (250gb)for over a year now. Works great.

Yeah this is why I just by used Apple products. Apple technology is at least 59 years ahead of its time, so even if I buy it used I know it will always run the newest and latest games.
If you are poor I recommend Alien Wear.

Actually I got a second hand video card (because I'm so poor) a while back that I haven't used yet, but it's so grimy. How do you clean a video card though? :C

Canned air for the heat sink and alcohol and a q-tip for the edge connector.

Oh, a q-tip is indeed a good idea.
I've indeed been thinking of using canned air, but the dust on the card actually looks like it's stuck. Like you wouldn't be able to get rid of it with air alone. I'm not sure how visible it is on this close-up, but this picture shows some of the grime on the fans. This stuff is also on the heatsink.

The fan shroud on that card looks fairly open so you should be able to clean it out using the tube/straw to get in between the fins.
Some cards you need to disassemble to clean them effectively.Posted 3 months ago # -
Thanks for the tips, Char. C:

Take off the fans and just wipe it down with a moist paper towel. Scrape the heatsink fins with an index card.

Speaking of cleaning fans: I heard that spinning the fan while cleaning can create voltage and harm the other components. Is this true or more of an urban legend because I know a guy who cleans fans with a vacuum cleaner...

In theory though I have yet to actually see it happen as most fans are brushless and it'll cook the driver transistors in the fan first.
Mostly it's that you can sometimes make the fan spin faster then it was designed to go which can physically damage it.
If you're paranoid just hold it still or stick something in it so it can't turn.
A vacuum cleaner also can generate static electricity but again leaving the device caked with dust is much more risky.If you are willing to have it down for a few days you can wash the board and heat sinks in soap and water but you must allow it to fully dry.

Is this true or more of an urban legend because I know a guy who cleans fans with a vacuum cleaner...Supposedly, spinning fans are basically dynamos. Since motherboards are vulnerable to changes in voltage, fans that spin on components that are plugged in to the motherboard could generate voltage and cause damage to it. (This is just what I'm told, though. I'm no expert.) Simply sticking a screwdriver into the fan so that it won't spin while blowing air onto it is enough.
The reason why using a vacuum cleaner is discouraged has nothing to do with spinning fans, though. Vaccuum cleaners themselves generate static electricity.
