Building a PC is pretty easy and straight forward. Once you get the parts it will all click.
Please excuse me for changing the subject a bit.

I have a question for Scott but it may also interest you.

Scott, do you know if Hybrid Drives are as good as SSD + HDD combo as you described above?

I'm looking at this model.
Seagate ST2000DX001 2TB

It has 8 GB of solid state tech at the front-end so to speak.

The other portion of the drive is comprised of 2 x 1TB platters.

I assume you can configure it for the OS to live on or fast access read/write memory for programs.
