ssd vs hd. no performance difference unless you rig reboots a lot, as longer boot time costs mining time. but its pretty insignificant and a well setup rig wont reboot except for external events like power sag/glitches.
main reason for ssds is when you set the rig up and tweak it, waiting for slow hds is maddening to me. driver reloads, os updates, miner restarts, all take more time and time is the one thing i value over most other things.
16 or 32 gb ssds are cheap and will allow windows, *nix and dual boot with room to spare. some OSs can use usb sticks also, smOS for example.
used hds in the past as i has plenty of them but all my rigs, miners or otherwise, now have ssds for os drive.
as for "t" series intel cpus, they are low power variants. saves on power costs. i have a 6400t in my htpc that i will probably move to my basement rig, which currently has a g1840. then ill toss a 6700t in the htpc. worth it if your power costs are a big concern.
I think I'm not going to OC too much or change the custom rom. Don't think the rig would reboot.
But it makes sense in case I would. I didn't knew about the T series of intel cpus, im learning here a lot with all of you.
Alright!
I got plenty of old HDDs so ill finally find a use to them.
Your ebay profile is 10/10 very good, not even a single negative.
I would like to have everything right now... im so impatient
Meanwhile... ill be looking what are the best miners out there to use with the nvidia(I know you already posted some, but on this forum is plenty of stuff).
Atleast my idea is going on nicehash equihash, dcred, mining zec and see what else is worth of getting profit.
