Scott,

The 4GB of RAM is 1333 and it is $49 and only uses 2 of the 4 slots. He could go to 8GB for $98.

I can see using a SSD drive for a fast boot, but the price still is very high. 64GB isn't a lot and they are $120 for a good one. Kingston has a 128MB unit for $170 (including rebates). Again, still very pricey. Any idea on the life of the SSD drives? I know they are only good for a certain number of read/writes before the sectors start to die.

As far as QC is concerned, knock on wood, I've built 4 machines recently and haven't sent anything back yet.
