I just added an SSD for a 260x but I guess "no HDD" might mean no SSD either...

well im assuming that ""no hdd"" means that OP already has drive to use, but i mean at $400, an ssd really isnt a luxury you can afford considering theres no real gaming benefit.

As a user of only Macbook Airs and computers with SSDs, fast storage isn't considered a luxury to me ;-)
