Thanks, will be picking two soon :)
Re: Few SSD's for my build
Maybe this is too late, but for a 256gb drive I'd go for the Samsung 830, which can be found for £140-£145, £15-£20 cheaper than the M4, faster write speeds, and a few extras unless you get the Basic Kit (which is often more expensive?!).
At the 512gb size, the reverse is true by a huge margin. M4 is <£300, while the Sammy is close to £500.
Bottom Line : Check deals daily, and avoid Sandforce at all costs.

Your not late lol, still haven't got round to ordering them. I'm going on holiday in a few months so i may buy them then. I'm looking at getting rid of mechanical drives entirely from inside my rig, only using SSD's inside and my 4TB NAS for storage. So i think i'll go for 256gb Samsung as OS and few programs and also a 480gb Crucial M4 other larger programs and a games.
I'm currently using a 120gb Mushkin Chronos, with the 2281 sandforce and its fine although i have heard people have drives which are failing in a short period of time.

prices are likely to go from now rather than down - the market has bottomed
