Hi Guys!

G-skill RipJawz 2400 16gb
Samsung 256 SSD
Thermaltake GT Level 10 (Snow Edition)

The HDD Question I would like to ask, Can i put a 3TB Seagate Barracuda XT as a DATA drive? Wont be installation, i'll be using the SSD as an install but the 3TB drive will be DATA only. Will the O/S be able to read it ?

No graphics card? Then you have to wait until after the release of Mountain Lion and the release of appropriate tools from Tony for (probable) HD4000 graphics support.

And yes, you will be able to use a 3TB hard drive as a data drive. Just partition it in Disk Utility using GPT (GUID Partition Table) and Mac OSX Journaled file system and you should be fine.
