server must be SSD too cuz usually I start a map solo for 3-4 sec before most get in. Anyway, SSD doesn't require a lot of investment. The cost of a 60GB SSD is around a hundred bucks which is definitely not as good per GB as a HDD but it's enough to load an OS or two onto and all the games you play regularly. Anything else is probably just media, which you should run off an HDD since there's no noticeable delay and it's still the best bang-for-buck in storage.

minimum 120 gigs SSD for me then as boot + games, more like 180ish though

Didn't TD just axe the BF3 server because of EA's server fuck-ups? A problem I totally called in a thread before the game was even released? So that's how much money spent on the bloated OS, to add to the game from the fuck-up developer, to add to the cost of the SSD to store all that failure?
