Being a budget build, I will have to look into this further. Anyone ever get a “refurbished” SSD from New Egg? I was wondering how that might work out.

I get that, but it’s a $30-40 difference and the trade-off is that you’ll be able to put more than just the OS on it. 32 isn’t big enough, 40 is really tight, 60 is OK, I don’t use anything < 90 (but I like to install apps that most people won’t).

I understand that, however, the other pieces that you don’t have are the Ceton InfiniTV4 tuner card ($200) that I will also need to purchase, as well as the need to purchase a new reciever, as mine is making a popping noise and going into safe mode periodically. (It’s a 10 year old Sony unit, so it has served me well). So the $30-$50 extra will actually break the bank on this one.
