Well, technically write speeds aren't exactly great for SSD's - they're probably on par with a regular disk based HD (for the better ones or drives in RAID 0). OS installation will be mostly writes and not so many reads (which is what SSD's really excel at).

Well, we're going a bit off topic here so back to the OP's original question.

I think if you want to learn, post up what you want to put together and we'll critique it and check it for compatibility. I'm sure any of the folks here will be willing to help if you run into any problems. Get your hands dirty!
