    When will large (2TB+) ssd disks be affordable?

    You may see a price drop when 25nm intel ssd's make their rounds in Q4, but we're talking years upon years upon years until we see ssd's of that size for that cheap. If you look at the pricing and size of drives in the past couple years, things have dropped rather substantially, but I'm going...

    SSD price justification

    IMO mechanical hard drives have higher failure rates.

    SSD Upgrade in the $150 range?

    Thanks for the recommendations. I'm not in a hurry, so I guess I'll wait until I see a good deal for an Indilinx based SSD.

    Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 Yorkfield 2.5GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor - Retail

    Well, there's going to be a new intel cpu coming out this month right at around the 280 price point, right? If so I'd wait, but if you can't wait (like me i'm going for the e8400 because i'm still on a athlon 64 2800+) it's a warm deal.

    4870 X2 for $412 at Best Buy

    Well my 360 has a lot of good games, actually. I've been kept quite busy with it, was pleasantly surprised... However, I want to get back into PC gaming. Hopefully Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 can revitalize things. The way hardware has been dropping in price, I'm not sure if I want to upgrade now...

    Working on a budget gaming build

    newegg's s&h is per product... however, once again, they've upped the price of items I was going to buy after having posted here. It'd cost me an extra 100 dollars to buy that system I listed above now. I'm actually thinking of waiting until black friday to build. Both times I've properly...

    If only newegg didn't have $9 shipping for that board ;\ ~ basically makes it 110 (gigabyte) or 120 (asus p5q) which has free shipping.

    Working on a budget gaming build

    Well, newegg slapped me upside the head, and said "NO!" as they raised the price on their gtx260/psu combo by about 100 bucks (weird, yes)... so with some tweaking, here's my final 2.0 build: CASE/CPU: Antec Twelve Hundred + e8400 combo (294.98) PSU: Antec earthwatts EA500 500W ATX12V v2.0...
