$165 w/$20 rebate card? man, I wish I knew my wife wouldn't kill me if I pulled that trigger... I do have a birthday coming up, but I am thinking I will see about getting another monitor like the one I currently have so I can go back to dual screens (gave my 19" NEC to my MiL when her monitor died).

What size are you ? I am lucky i'm size 11UK and that is right at the limit at what sizes are commonly stocked. Size 12 and 13 starts getting difficult

Well, it depends on the company that makes the shoe I've noticed. If it's certain types of sketchers, Etnies, and this one pair of Dr Scholl's I have (nearly worn completely out) I can fit into a 14 (US of course), but most of the time I need a 15 or 16.

Just bought a Butter Chicken lunch thing, a coke and I'm checking bank balances now to see if I can afford a couple new SSDs

I'll make you a deal. If you get a pack of chewing gum then chew each piece and take it out and stick it in your hair, and take a pic, I'll knock $50 bucks off the price

Luckily for me I'm single again Better to have love and lost, then to have lived with the psycho for the rest of your life... So my money is my money now.

I got the OCZ and this one. I did a RAID 0 with both of them. I love tax refunds I used coupons too, so it knocked the price down more for both of them. I think total I paid $260.

Both of my SSD's made a huge improvement to my over all performance. Boot time is like 12 seconds now. Applications open in a split second. Even SC2 opened in about 3 seconds. If you think about it, if your HDD is taking time to find the files, it doesn't matter how new or fast your other components are, it will be held back by the seek time on your HDD. The SSD was the best improvement to PC performance in the last 10-15 years IMO. It will be the new standard once it becomes common place and the price comes down.
