Anyone that says a ssd isn't worth it in a primary system, has never used one as the primary device in their system Best money spent, you will notice it more than anything else in the budget in general for computer use.

SSD > all HDD's period.

60GB (about 55GB after formatting) will hold about 30 minutes of FRAPS at 1920x1080.  I used to record WoW videos all the time and it was around 5 GBs for 3-4 minutes with no sound.

Honestly you'd be better off recording straight to your storage drive.  Your fast CPU will make FRAPSing seem non-existent since it's not GPU based.

No I've never used one, but the price/GB is still pretty high, and if you don't buy a good one (Intel X25 is the cadilliac of SSDs) you can have MAJOR issues with them crashing on you and crapping out after only a few months of use.

That sucks, my gaming pc's Hard drive died on me night before last as well. So you guys wont be seeing me around too often. =/

Yes cost per gb is expensive, but so is many people's time. I don't want to wait for anything and for 160 bucks i don't have to... Any drive can fail as you well know, statistically ssd's appear to have lower failure rates than standard spinning hard disks. If you haven't used one, it's hard to imagine what they really do for you, but i'd guess the first time you put one in your system and reload you'll be kicking yourself for not spending the money on it sooner as it really will make that level of difference.

Corsair puts out a decent PSU, midrange cost with good cable options. Comes with a limited warranty, but I haven't had one die on me yet.

Better than the specs on the PSU, imho, is the pimptastic bag it comes packaged in.

Whaa?

[walk2k]

I have 3 or 4 Antec power supplies, I like them, never had one fail yet.

I like Corsair for ram though.  I've gone thru a dozen name brands and no-name bargain brands over the last 15+ years and had the least problems with Corsair, and when I did I got it replaced easily under their lifetime warranty!

[kaos]

Antec is good, but I find them to be lacking in the bag department.

[Thyl]

I must concur I've bought some power supplies from Corsair and I do like their sexy bags.

I've had an OCZ Vertex 30GB running Win XP on my desktop PC for the past year and a half. No issues and it increased the speed of everything I do. It is, without question, worth paying the extra buck to have it run your OS.

[Baelin]

I just got done building a server for myself at work.

2x E5504 Xeon CPU's
12GB RAM
1 60GB SSD for OS
2x 1TB SAS drives
Video card is on-board, plan to buy one soon.

All that for $50.  and no i didn't forget a extra zero.

I have my eye on the Hex-cores for my next server

 I like my job :-)

[Gnaughty]

You sir are a bastard for making me drool.  Someone tell me where these great deals come from as I am down one laptop ive been using for past 3 years. 

[sohami]

Hey Baelin, want to hook me up with a similar setup for $200? haha

[Thyl]

All that for $50.  and no i didn't forget a extra zero.

I'll take 2!
