Can't wait to see the results, that's going to be one slick system. I don't know how well ICH9R plays with SSD's (you hear the odd issue) - any chance you'll be upgrading to an ICH10R board at some time in the future to test against as well?
That's also a pretty cool deal you got!
I have to ask (and it's not a dig, just an actual question looking for your reaction)...
How does it feel knowing that for what you spent on 64GB of storage with a throughput of ~450MB/s total you could have had 8-9TB of storage with a throughput of 900-1050+MB/s (though with obviously nowhere near the same access times), without using a deal?
Edit: WTF? I went to look up prices on New Egg to see how much better of a deal this would be for you people in the US and for the first time in... I don't know how long, I found out our prices were actually better on 1TB drives! So maybe 7-8TB worth of storage @ 110MB/s average... up to ~900MB/s I guess..
