Seagate Momentus XT 500GB Solid State Hybrid SATA Drive 2.5IN
- Wanted an SSD but that would break the bank, The Momentus is the only hybrid NCIX stocks

Sorry when I said Samsung I meant these drives.  Have 6 at home, 4 in lappies and 2 in RAID0 in a desktop.  All fantastic drives, you'll be happy.

I have had a Momentus XT in my work laptop for a rather long time now, had it just about since they where first released.

I purchased the system. However since I was in store they tweaked some prices to sale prices and I was able to go with the 2500 i5 for about $7 price difference.

Been assembling for but had to take a break for the kids bed time. Also picked up a new 23 inch monitor. All in it was still under a grand even with the extra taxes.

FYI the ASUS P8Z68-V Pro Z68 does support dual monitor output! I have one monitor on DVI and the other on the VGA.. Windows detected the second monitor the second I connected it.
