First Fully Mac & PC Supported Bootable PCIe SSD!


Has anyone ever heard of OWC, or better yet has anyone every used a OWC SSD?


Well this may change your mind....Other World Computing (aka OWC) has been around for 

almost 25yrs and are a US based company in Woodstock, Illinois

They are mainly known within the Mac circles as one of the leading online Mac retailers.


BUT......




Mac retailer or not....if they have a great product that will work in a PC, then I am excited. Last 

year they came out with the OCW Mercury Extreme 6G which rivaled OCZ Vertex 3 and Patriots

Wildfire SSD's. But had a lower price tag and a better warranty.


OWC's SSD's normally come with a industry leading 5year warranty! (7yrs on the Enterprise 

series) and to top that, they offer a no hassle, no question 30 day money back guarantee.....

We will have to wait to see what the warranty will be on this baby.

OCTAGLOW

This is a scratch build that I am presently working on. I am new to Sketchup, so I am learning as I go...LOL
There is much more to do, but this is a start. Many more rendering to come.

This will be built completely from 6061 Aluminum with some blue acrylic. and blue LEDs.
It measures 30"X24"X11"....It's going to be a monster.

The plan is to have 2X 360 rads on the top, laying side by side and 2X 420 rads at the bottom. Everything will be watercooled.... along with 8X 200mm fans (yes 8X 200mm fans) and 12X 140 mm fans...of course they will all be on fan controllers to control the noise.

Stay tuned for more updates
