That's a very interesting point Sam. I think you and alcattle were talking about that as well in another thread too. Makes perfect sense.

I see the Intel 40gb ssd everyone likes is $99 at Bestbuy, will have to snag one. And get another 4gb for the 1st system if I go that route.

New sales come out tomorrow @ Fry's, want to see if they have a juicy cpu/mb combo first before making a decision.

Thanks for all the thoughts and advice everyone, really appreciate it
