Nice spec

I love that case, I have two of them, wish I had bought more when they were on sale at Fry's for $99.99

If you already have a few HDDs, how about swap the two on your sheet for an SSD and place a symlinked copy of the /DATA folder on it.
Well, a big thing for me is storage space. I currently have damn near 2TB filled. lol

The SSDs, I just don't think that $400 is worth the performance for that. I can't say I have any issues right now running 3 off 3 different SATA drives, so I'd think 5 on 5 drives would be just as sound. The biggest part of why I need to upgrade is my processor and memory. I'm maxing out the CPU sometimes, even with maximizer set to limit the background ones to below 30fps (keyword is sometimes) and I know I need more than 3GB of memory for running more than 3 instances of WoW since I use about 2.6GB running 3 w/ other stuff open.

I could've gotten away with a much milder upgrade, but I figure why not just go for it, you know. I'm starting a new job next week that pays $4 more an hour than my current position (which I've been doing fine with), so this is my present to myself for getting out and grabbing something.
