Yeah, my MBP is sort of my "work" computer - I use it for school, light photo and video editing, etc. Desktop is for gaming and marathon photo editing sessions. I tried using a tablet but I can't deal with the crappy multi-tasking and limited functionality.

Well, there's some deals for SSD's for the desktop side, Mushkin Chronos Deluxe or Crucial M4 etc. - I would really like to stick with Intel if possible, my 320 has been absolutely rock solid with no issues. Thinking of the Intel 520 but man that's $$... I am very leery of SF-2281 drives because of the issues people have had. Especially OCZ... no OCZ for me.

Anyone have experience with the Amazon.com cheap opti-bay adapters compared to the real deal though? It's $25 vs $99, both including the USB casing for the optical drive.
