Intel 520 SSD

[Breand]

To me it is the single piece of hardware that has the most instant gratification from the other devices. Super fast bootup, super fast game loading. Most people don't understand what a huge bottleneck a traditional hard drive is until they see an SSD in action. Obviously better video cards and more RAM are probably more important, but there is a need to have the best and brightest. With an SSD you can have the smallest/cheapest one and youll still see a huge difference in how you operate a PC.

BTW, you REALLY overpaid for that one.

If you are paying more than $1 a GB, it's too much.

Here's an OCZ 240GB for $210:
