ok, so what's left for me to get this year ?

gtx-300 (or whatever the name & assuming it's this year & assuming it passes muster.)
a small but good brand ssd to begin experimenting with.
windows 7 ultimate retail

Try the SSD drives, it will speed up the OS, games, and is silent. I'm running OCZ SSD's, 3x120gig in RAID-O 600+writes and 700+reads.

Sir Skully · 07-23-2009, 12:27 PM

Here's a thread on SSD's for more info.....
* 3x120gig OCZ SSD's in RAID-0 *

Kimbo · 07-23-2009, 10:39 PM

yeah, that's why i'm getting just one and a small one (60-128gb).
it will be a test drive. i'll install whatever game i'm playing at the time (1-2) and use it as the drive to record fraps clips onto (so that should be really good)
i don't expect to fully migrate from spin drives for at least 3-5 years. (unless serious and proven breakthroughs happen including radical price drops)
i'll just keep replacing the one sdd with better/faster/larger ones over time.

plus the defrag business is hard on me mentally. it's hard to resist not trying to defrag a drive.

Sir Skully · 07-24-2009, 12:33 AM

I've been riding on the technology edge for awhile now. But I may back off for a time. I'm not one bit disappointed with my SSD's. In fact its been interesting as an early adopter of SSD....

There's not really a valid point to completely getting rid of spin drives, in my opinion, they are the cheapest. I have a 1Tb drive as secondary which hosts all my media, documents and whatnot. I see absolutely no need to get an increase in speed for that drive... except if I need to format and transfer all my files. That'll take a while lol

Kimbo · 07-26-2009, 03:32 PM

oh, and also modern warfare 2

i'm burning for mw2 and a gtx300, burning i tell ya!!

what are the chances of the next gtx??? using gddr 5 ??? (probably pretty slim)

Saw one of those (or another Samsung similar to it) a couple weeks ago. Stunning picture, just stunning. The only problem with such a great TV is the lack of programming to make it shine. Heh.

how many inches is the one you're getting, 55"?...price is actually not as steep as I thought although still a bit too expensive for my current needs...$4500

Samsung is my preferred manufacturer of HDTV's...I currently have the Samsung HL-S5087W 50" 1080p DLP HDTV...love the picture quality...the DLP sets really have excellent black levels

EDIT: you getting this as your TV or your computer monitor?

For my TV, I have 2x 24" Dells now for my computer! I actually got a very good pre order price of $3610 plus tax from of all places Magnolia (they are actually making deals now)....

....Yes the 55 inch one!
