So for my new build im looking for a new SSD, i have my eye set on the OCZ Arc 100, its cheap, and looks really nice, but it clashes with the red/black theme i want to put, here is the build BTW:

 
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($167.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Motherboard: Asus H97-PRO GAMER ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($107.98 @ Newegg) 
Memory: G.Skill AEGIS 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  ($52.99 @ Newegg) 
Storage: OCZ ARC 100 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($59.99 @ Amazon) 
Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 280 3GB TWIN FROZR Video Card  ($188.98 @ Newegg) 
Power Supply: XFX TS 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  ($41.98 @ Newegg) 
Monitor: Acer UM.WV6AA.B01 60Hz 21.5" Monitor  ($105.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Total: $848.38
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

so it must be below the price of the arc 100 ($59.99) and prefferibly black, or red, or even plain brushed aluminium would be nice
 
 
See ya sexy people in a bit ;)

Don't own that specific ssd but I own a slightly older sandisk one and all do it may not be the fastest ssd it's a very good option for a cheap storage device just to put your OS on.
