[fondue]

I have a Corsair P128 I bought in October of 2009. It cost me $350 but after seeing the performance gains and reading about the almost change in lifestyle you get in using one I thought it would be worth it.

I was right. Everyone was right. It's still running now, without issue, and I enjoy 8 second boot times with Windows 7 and virtually instantaneous-launch applications. Well worth the price. I regularly backup my data but it's nice to know that if it failed today I could buy a replacement from NewEgg for nearly half the price and probably better performance.
