Just did an build list for a co-worker upgrading from their current slimline office pre-built. Their GPU and hard drive is moving over, and after checking motherboard and PSU inventory/pricing, the resulting total price was not intentional -- though it was rather fitting.

Sure, there have been jokes about these SSDs, but has anyone taken the plunge and spent their hard earned cash for one of these? Search didn't pull up any posts here, so the fact that I'm willing to entrust my data to a $20 SSD ... well hey, the boot drive on this computer is an OCZ purchased from a thrift store for 79 cents. I'm not afraid!
