Would it be possible to setup a personal rig with an SSD as your main Windows loaded drive, then use a nice high capacity HDD as your storage device? If so, that's what I would do (when the prices finally drop to reasonable levels).

yes, thats what most people do. SSD for windows and games (or just for one of the two) with mechanical drives for data storage.

Nice. If I weren't buying a laptop, I would mod my current desktop, but no extra monies $$$

That's what I do and it's the perfect balance! It's also the future!

230/200, damn thats nice. But, I think I'll wait until until the tech goes down in price. It's come down ALOT in the last year and this will just encourage other companies to jump on the high capacity band wagon. I think I'll just build a new rig now and get two or three to RAID together when they go down in price. Plus, yeah they're great for applications like photoshoppe, and firefox but on anandtech.com, they proved that in most cases, a single ssd only performs marginally better in loading games, at least for the intel drives.
