Rhino's been looking for a good SSD (I assume thats what you mean by flash media drive?).

Also the preference of internal or external is up to you. Bare in mind that if you get an external, make sure it is e-sata. Then make sure you have an estata port on your motherboard hooked upto a sata connection (or just hooked up to the back anyway). e-sata is pretty much the same as a normal sata(internal) connection, so nothing lost, you may need to have a power brick, depends if you have a power-e-sata port :P .
Sorry, I don't mean an SSD. I mean a "media" drive that reads Flash Memory Cards. SSD's are not in my plans at all.

Ahhhh so a card reader, makes sense :P sorry, Generally most will work perfectly, just try and get a nice well built one, and get one with all the card reading ability you need :P

This one seems nice:
Scan.co.uk: 3.5" Black Internal Multi Memory Card Reader Inc Front USB 3.0 - AK-ICR-07U3

Has USB3 on it too :P

Well i finally got my rig built this weekend. Ended up using the Thermaltake A90 chasis like i originally intended.

I can safely say, I think I finally have a machine that can run ARMA 2 like it should be run. Got 45 FPS from the Chernarus Benchmark, and 50 from the Takistan Benchmark. This is with everything set to VERY HIGH, AA Normal, Vsync turned on, and 1680x1050 resolution. Havent really had a chance to test all my games yet but i'm like what i see so far, especially these fancey DX11 features i keep hearing about. :D
