    Not too bad a price but they say the MK2 is faster.

    Interesting, I'm in the market for a good machine and was looking more at the Mk3 only because it was newer so faster!!! Will have to give it more thought, thanks.

    Hey guys if you are looking at a SSD then check out the new Intel 320 series . I have a 120GB and a 160GB in my CF-30 and 52 and they are fast. I upped the ram to 4GB but the SSD gave it that extra speed. I picked them up for $135.00 - $150.00 :D

    I've also got a 320 and am quite happy with it -- however you got a much better price. Care to share where?

    Yep it'll be that look that says "I'll be reminding you for the next few years" I'm sure the CF-30 will still be running happy as a pig in sh--. but I will have done something else by then, many more things, you have to keep em happy.
