I say we post up system specs:D
Q6600 Core 2 Quad @ 3.2ghz (blessed with G0 Stepping) (daily use) (400mhz bus x 8 multiplier) I have hit 3.7 ghz orthos stable 12 hours on air cooling.
EVGA GTX 275 876mb Vid Card (Oc'ed a bit)
Asus Mobo w/ a few mods coming soon like new southbridge, northbridge chipset coolers and better mosfet cooling solutions.
2x4gb Patriot Viper Ram DDR2 800mhz Ram (@ 1066mhz)
Raptor 10k RPM 150gb Harddrive
Thermaltake Armor Jr Case
Plethra of fans and cooling devices.
27" LG Flatron 2ms Monitor 1080p and 1000:1 contrast ratio and all those goodies.
I'm running windows 7 Pro 64 bit on it and overall very fun PC to be on and great for gaming and every day use. Haven't had a problem and it has been overclocked stable @ 3.2ghz for over a year and a half now. Hoping to hit 3.8-4.0ghz w/ chipset cooler solutions. I've also looked into phase change and liquid cooling as well which may be my only option for any higher then 3.7ghz.

Win7 Pro 64-bit
3.0GHz AMD Dual Core
8GB of OCZ Extreme DDR2 memory 800GHz
1 600GB WD SATA drive (don't know specs but it's only slightly slower than raptor)
2 250GB WD IDE hard drives
I don't remember what my graphics card is...it's ATI 512mb something or rather...it's not up to snuff yet. I've also got a Hauppauge PV150 TV tuner, Linksys N wireless, and a bunch of other periphrial crap.

Does anyone here own a solid state harddrive?
I've been looking into getting 150-200gb Solid State drive to run Windows 7 off of and see how well that performed w/ everything else I have. As of now the bottleneck's in all system's are harddrives.
The solid state drives really have me interested and it is amazing how much quicker they are then regular hard disks.

Watercooled I7 SLI system all that needs to be said.
Anyways Microsoft is being way to cocky with windows 7. Way too many cracks when it first came out. Beta's were better IMO

The solid state drives really have me interested and it is amazing how much quicker they are then regular hard disks. I thought about it but couldn't justify the cost, especially for my desktop. From what I was reading solid state drives would not be ideal for the OS because they only have a limited number of read/writes before they burn out. Your OS does so many read/writes for page files that it would burn out quickly. I assume you can turn off paging files in Win7 some how...but I'd still be leary of putting my OS on a SS drive since I don't know what other files the OS may read/write.

I would wait on buying an SSD in that size. As was said they do have limited life. Even with their new wear leveling and write combining they still die out with the current firmware. You also have to take into consideration with SLC and MLC etc. I would just wait off because the price is still upto $3 more per gig.
