Shot. If you can get a quote on the mobo that would be awesome as well, pls just confirm specs (Socket, RAM, XFi card etc).
If they dont have it I will order the other bits through you, works out a couple a hundred bucks cheaper.

Ok, read all 27 pages of the brain-jarring nerd speak on SSD's. Awesome article. I get the points on the advantages of Intel over Samsung but was intrigued by Samsungs strong showing in the pratical tests...

Win 7 out in about a weeks time. Will check then what to get. At the mo, I am thinkin of a 128-160GB SSD for Win + Games then a 1TB Seagate for Aps + Piracy and a copy of Win 7 Home Premium.
