Seriously people, get a clue. Unless you win the lotto, that is not an option.

And holy shit - the guy defrags an SSD? (thats bad if you know anything about SSDs)

Dont' get me wrong, I'm excited about SSDs too, and can't wait for them to be affordable. But that video.... oh man. Talk about off the mark.
The guy defraged an SSD that did not cost him anything and he was willing to jump and down on a trampoline with. True SSD'd do not need degfragging they can access all parts of the drive at the same time. Defrag writes like crazy and would just get you closer to your write limit.

The only unreasonable hardware might be the custom memory other than that most of the stuff on there is not that far out of reach. I have had top of the line computers before and am looking at building one now. The only unrealistic thing is well 24 drives at $700 a pop.
