    Since I put all my drives in a seperate machine and installed WHS on it the "low" space of SSD's hasn't bothered me, 60Gb OS/App's 30Gb Data/Games, 80Gb Raptor dump drive.

    It looks a bit better since I rearranged to cool the NB better and add the SSD, but most of the cables are going behind the motherboard where they can, there's just a bit of a mess immediately next to the PSU where I'm storing the spare cables, but there's no airflow in that section (just against the wall of the PSU) so it doesn't matter.

    I would never have a machine without a SSD now I've used one regularly. I'm even considering getting one for my steam install, but not got the money atm.
