I completely agree.

the raptor X is nice....but IMO it is a little overrated. i mean just because it is fast it shouldn't cost that much

I find raptors to be kinda dumb. I owned one myself and didnt find it that great. I would rather have two 250GB SATAII in RAID 0.

Thats a waste of money, I mean it might be good to buy a comp for about 2500$ and it will last like a few years but the technology is changing all the time these days and every day theres a new techonlogy and Then you computer will be just a piece of trash.
Thats my advice...
