    Maybe we'll eventually see PCs and notebooks with built-in high-speed, low-capacity SSDs from which to boot (I'd love to see Win7 cold-boot in 6 seconds or whatever), with mechanical hard drives to hold our ever-increasing store of movies and porn.

    Until solid-state can compete on price with spinning discs, that seems like a good compromise. At some point, I'm going to update my HTPC that way, so it boots fast from a 60 GB or 80 GB SSD, but has a couple of 2 TB drives for all my... um... legally acquired media. *cough* #fusionioioxtreme

    @Kirkaiya: I had a friend ask me about this for his computer. It sounds like a really good idea to do, and I might just do it for my own computer after I acquire the funds.

    Hell, I wish my laptop had an SSD to boot from... #fusionioioxtreme

    @STiger: Maybe notebook manufacturers (do you read comments, Lenovo???) will start doing that for high-end models. I know I'd be willing to pay more for an onboard fast mini-SSD to boot my next ThinkPad from, with a standard 2.5" drive-bay for either a second, larger-capacity (but slower & cheaper) SSD or a fat 320GB spinning drive. Maybe someone (consumers to Lenovo, come in Lenovo...) will build it. Here's hoping! #fusionioioxtreme

    @yemski: How are they with RMAing the bricked ones. It sounds like Patriot is the way to go, at least with their Torq SSDs as they give them a 10 year warranty. #intelbrickedssdbug

    Which brings us to the 3-day firmware rule. Always wait 3 days before flashing a new firmware. #intelbrickedssdbug

    So is there some sort of compensation for all the people Intel appears to have fucked? I don't have an SSD and I don't know what exactly happens when one is "bricked" but I assume it means it's unusable now. Any thoughts people? #intelbrickedssdbug

    @antpwny: I'm going to sound like a Patriot sales rep, but I'm not. I've heard great things about Patriot's Torqx line. They're fast, have a 10 year warranty, and are cheaper than Intel. They look like they're the way to go for the long haul. #intelbrickedssdbug

    I'm building a system that outclasses this with a Cooler Master ATCS 840 case.... for hundreds less. It's a novel design and if the customer care is good it may be worth it. But I can make mine with 23" Samsung monitor and premium mouse and keyboard for just over 3k... where as all that would run you closer to 4k with this system. It does look bad ass though :) #maingear

    Judging by the logos on the inside of the 5.25" drive bays that case is designed by Silverstone. Silverstone has also introduced cases with the vertical motherboard tray to it isn't that far of a stretch. The case alone is probably worth around $200.

    The watercooling isn't anything special and you can get a similar corsair watercooling system for less than $70. #maingear

    Wait. Am I getting this right? A custom gaming PC maker is focusing on making actual PCs with a clean aesthetic and not clunky, garish things that look more like they belong in a ricer's garage than a workspace? This, after a Wii accessory in the likeness of a baby doll comes out?

    Times are a' changin' indeed. #maingear

    That case is awesome, I wish more computers came with aluminium/metal cases instead of boring plastic. But if it's going to over inflates the price by $1000, then I think I'll pass...thank you #maingear

    I don't get why people BUY custom PCs, the fun part is getting all those parts in the mail and putting it together yourself and paying as little as humanly possible for the absolute most performance.

    If i wanted a pre-built a desktop I'd buy a mac. #maingear

    @Jesustron: What you don't get is that most people aren't computer techs or know anything about the inside of a computer. And they should not have to know about what is inside the computer no more than you should know how to work on a car to drive it. Computers are used as appliances to check email, entertain people, browse the web, be productive, etc ... Period. For some of us, knowing everything about a computer is what we like to do. It doesn't make us better and it doesn't make the main stream public stupid. #maingear

    @Christopher Cox: And what you don't get is that 99% of the targeted demographic wouldn't even give two hoots about buying a pre-built rig because they already know better. This rig is NOT meant for casual use. If you buy this solely to check e-mail and browse the tubes then you are a gigantic boob.

    This is the modern-day equivalent of going to your parents and asking for a pony and getting a rocking horse. They'll jokingly consider it until they see how much it really costs and after picking their jaws up off the floor go get a PC-in-a-box from best buy.

    Impressive? Yes. Cost effective? Not so much. #maingear

    meanwhile I can get 1TB in a 4.3 x 3.2 x .6in package from Western Digital for less than the 64GB. I also don't get the point of external SSD. with USB, you loose the benefit of the speed and just have the shock protection. I love platters.

    @portugee11: Agreed, I have gotten great service from them, excellent company. I'm glad Newegg is there for cheap stuff but OWC is the place to go for quality gear that (normally) doesn't cost too much. This SSD thing is unreasonable tho.
