The next component of this build matches my lifestyle quite well:
The Patriot Pyro SATA III 120GB Solid State Drive. Once again, my dealer of choice was Newegg, mainly, this time because of the cost of the drive. Lately when looking at drives, or if you are in the neighborhood for buying one at this time, the dollar per gig pricepoint is what you are looking for. I purchased this solid state for the excellent price of $100, over half off of the original price of $160. If you are interested, you can take a better look at the drive
here on Newegg.

| FIRRRRRRRRE! |
The read/write speed is 550MB/515MB/s respectfully, so this is a speedy little devil. Another plus of this drive it its VERY small form-factor: only 2.5". Looking at the package, it actually looks quite large, but if you take the drive out and it is surprisingly small. I really wasn't expecting such large storage attributed to such a small package.

| For the Canadian readers out there. Here is a little comparison to your 'Toonie.' |
There isn't really much more to say about this drive in this state, once it is hooked up, boot times, ect will be accounted for and be in the final review of the system. So far, here is how the build is adding up:
Intel i5 3550 ($189.99)
Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB (2x4GB) Memory Module ($42.49)
The NES Case, Hardware, and Paint (<$10)
Patriot Pyro 2.5" 120GB Solid State Drive ($99.99)
Total Savings: $87.50
Total Price: $342.47
On Friday, we will be talking about something a little different that has never been done with one of these NES builds before, we'll have to see how it goes.
Until then, Disc07 Out!
