A beast of a gaming rig? Sounds like a plan to me.

This is what I would do, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227500&cm_re=ocz_z-drive%2d%5f%2d20-227-500%2d%5f%2dProduct and I am a happy person.

...What does it do?

...What does it do?

Its a Solid State Drive, except it slides into PCI slots instead of SATA connections so it can get upwards of 800MB/s.Imagine booting with that!

A Solid state drive is like a USB stick, no spinning disc, which means, loading from the hard drive instantaneously, no load times.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this was my Nigerian uncle that passed away and left his huge estate to me.

:lol:

Congratz man, spend wisely. In-fact, invest it. Pretend you never had it you were fine without it, so don't use it, let it grooooo.

Pretty cool, but I could think of hundreds of things I'd rather spend 3 and a half grand on.

1. Rent a horse
2. Get a big radio
3. Go to a public place, preferably a crowded one (while riding horse)
4. Start playing "Look at my horse"
5. ???????
6. Profit

The only way I could inherit that kind of money would be from by distant Nigerian uncle, who needs a $10,000 investment behind I get it.

Some SSDs in RAID are faster than that.

If you're absolutely certain it's not a scam...then I congratulate you, Mr. Renton (yes, you now have enough money to apply the prefix of 'Mister' to your name. Also congratulatory)

Think hard and think long on how to use it, as it's a once-in-a-lifetime-stroke-of-luck. Some people just can't handle a lot of money and tend to toss it away on whim and soon notice they're all out again. Me, I've never had money, really, so I've always been running a Scrooge-shift.

Don't think I'll wind up with an inheritance during my lifetime. Or if I do, it's prolly bills, anyway.

Here's what to do: Give me the money, and I'll give you a silver dollar in return.

Agreed but it's MLC (multi level cell) flash and unless it states otherwise it is only guarenteed for 10k Write/erase cycles. Now with a smaller SSD it's not such a problem but with such a large SSD you going to be writing a lot of files to it and it's going to wear out quick. If you going to buy a unnecessarily large SSD go for an SLC one. They're guarenteed for 100k write/erase cycles and give much higher performance too.

Put it into a bank account, get a financial adviser, and invest part of it and use the other to do something you really want or need, like fix up your home (or get a home), etc. If you spend it all now you'll definitely regret it later.

I just hope that everyone here plays games better than they invest.. because you guys are terrible.

couple of interesting things to watch

companies that can take old car tires and turn it into diesel (a few are being built here in Europe)
solar development
a company that makes wifi windup laptops for the third world
Virgin Galactic <-- winner!! Richard has already sold over five hundred flights, at 200,000$ a pop.

Bribe a mod with your money so that you get an exclusive title below your avatar instead of the boring and generic Curate.

That thing will be half price in a year.

This, above all. An http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96dWOEa4Djs Raid is too good to pass up. If I had that sort of money I wouldnt hesitate.

So when Fallout: New Vegas rolls around, you're gonna gift it to all of us on Steam right?
