    Wow. That really is cheap. Hmmm... is a 'manufacturer recertified' SSD a good idea? Probably fine if you routinely backup

    That's a laptop drive though, it's 1.8" and has a LIF connector, not SATA, so you'd need an adapter.
    Factory refurbs really aren't much riskier than a brand new one - while occasionally you might get a unit that was returned for a technical fault and fixed, that's usually just not economical, so the vast majority are perfectly functional units that were bought by someone who then decided they didn't want/need it so returned it. Half the time they've never even been used, but they still can't be resold as new by law, so you get a damn good deal with full manufacturer warranty.

    Cost is probably more than the rest of your system combined. Oh, $2200 for the 960G

    if you spent more than 1000 on a computer (other than a machine for a specific purpose, like video editing using edius (needs a 2.5k video card), or running a radio station (needs a 2.5k audio card)) you spent too much.

    I've got an i3, 6TB of storage, 6GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GPU with 1GB of RAM - $800. Its been running 24/7 for the last 2 years.

    The floods that Thailand/Philippines had pushed up prices due to massive shortages, and the prices still haven't returned to the old levels...
