Hah! We're so close to being able to get our SSD content going again. Robert's been ardently working on a new build for the past couple of weeks, figuring out all of its tricks and tweaks, so we should be getting some new SSDs to take a look at soon. We're waiting for a CPU cooler replacement at the moment since, contrary to our belief, Intel's stock heatsink is, in fact, truly horrible.

Haha, you bet! If a first generation SandForce drive can deliver 18 seconds, I think I could get pretty darn close to 10 second cold boot times with one of those beauties... Just imagine... an instant power on Windows 7 system. It's going to happen very soon at the rate these things are going...
