    Looking to buy 3 60-64GB SSD's, but really don't want to spend more than $60. I could probably do with a 40-48GB, but it would be kind of tight. Anyone have any good recommendations on some even refurbished or used from a reliable source?

    Going to be hard finding anything that fits that low budget. You could get a 40 GB X25-V Intel, maybe some OCZ (shudder). Maybe if you camp hard enough, last last generation Samsung RBX SLC SSD 64 GB can be found around that price range (not called that on eBay though). I may want to get rid of my Agility 2 60 GB soon though..

    I found a Vertex 60GB (new) $75 and Corsair Force 60GB (almost new) $64 at Anandtech. Thinking about offering $65 for the Vertex and $60 for the Force.

    I want three in total. Prefer two to be identical since they are going in same systems for my kids and would rather just have a single fresh image for both than have to manage two. I know it shouldn't matter as Windows should install drivers, reboot and done, but same would be ideal. Third is going in a budget HTPC.
