    There are quite a few deals for 160GB SSDs on eBay right now, so you may want to check them out.

    well it's around $2/GB. Do we expect it to be much cheaper over the next 6 months? because this is a solid $130-$150 below Newegg/Amazon prices.

    seems like even a year from now, this will be the MSRP. lol

    Just grabbed two of these - rebuilding my desktop next month and was thinking of going for SATA3 but decided the price on the new Crucial SSDs was a bit high, plus I don't do anything that needs THAT much juice.

    I bought mine when it was still $400 (minus Bing, of course). It's been working great--
