Go for a new SSD, 120GB or higher is recommended.

MY oCZ is over 3 years old and has never been shut off for more than a few hours OCZ is ok if you got an OK drive. Would love to get some more monitors but would have to find at least 1080 reolution much less size matching not really in that budget. Not unless Linus or Slick have 2 23 inch monitors they wanna sel for $75 a peice lol.

how about 2 120gb SSd's in an array for better speed?

What makes a ssd feel fast and snappy is the random read speed and random access times. Raid 0 only increases sequential transfer speeds.
