They have special deals for people in the industry couple times a year.
Skinny> Really? I just assumed cuz it's double the retail of 2600K that it would be crazy. So for $100 more it seemed to be a steal to me. Not that I really know any better. Seemed like everyone jumped on that deal the fastest.
They have SSD drives in the deal too. Deciding whether I want one or not. Doesn't seem that much cheaper than retail though.
They have the Intel 310 120Gb for $160

I'm not sure if they combine shipping. If they do then sounds ok. But if not I pay another $36USD. Works out to be 196USD + Duties.
Are they that much better? Will it enhance gameplay or speed up game loading times? I'm under the impression that they're only really meant for the OS. So I assume that means speeding up the boot time of the comp.
