Blu-Ray recorder - cost per disc & limited capabilities kill this. It's just not worth it.

WD 1TB C: drive - go SSD. With the cost of 1TB drives due to the flooding, you can get an SATAIII 60GB for about the same price. The HDD is the choke spot for all computers. 7200RPM, 10,000RPM ... disks are a dated technology, go SSD and boot to Windows in 7 seconds

1. i've never been a fan of intel, so i went amd. if i was building a gaming rig, i probably would've gone intel, but i'm not so i didn't LOL

2. the bluray will be used for backing up larger files of older stuff that i want to keep but don't use very frequently....& a way to rent & rip blurays :rick:

3. apprantly reading ownz you like k3ifers cause -

"* OCZ 60gb Solid State Drive...this will be OS & main programs only. I could've gotten a bigger one, but I found a hell of a deal on this one, so there ya go"
&
"* (1) Western Digital 1tb Hard Drive...this will be the "data drive" for the OS & where i load non-bootup/rarely used programs"



the 1tb data drive will also be where torrents are downloaded to until i get a chance to go thru them & add to the RAID drive backups of all the movies & tv shows etc
