OCZ 64GB SATA II SSD

Seems like a good performer, however, only a 1 year warranty? For a data storage device that costs well over $1000? Yet it somehow has a 2,000,000 hour MTBF.

Wouldn't a potential buyer be expecting this thing to last at least 5 years?

Well, assuming your drive lasts the "mean time", it should last somewhere around 228 years...

man, i thought amd's 6000/6400 stock HSF was impressive (looks wise)

It looks as if Zalman had a hand in designing the HSF or Intel taking a page from their book. Not bad for something thrown in with your processor.
