Small hard drives...hoping to get them setup in RAID 1
I went for a single GPU because according to the Tomshardware article, SLI only really kicks in noticably at 1600 x 1200 resolution. Monitors that support that resolution are either too big for my taste or don't have sub 20ms response times--making their use for gaming questionable and hence making the entire SLI experience questionable.
