Actually, I think you have that wrong.  The cost of a 128GB SSD is closer to $80-$140 than $250 these days.  I just checked on Newegg and those are the prices I found.

I didn't see this earlier. You're right. I was going mostly by memory and I didn't adjust for the time passed since the last time I read about it. I did google it and the 1st result is, ironically, newegg with a 128GB for $250, but it's sold out so it's likely old.

That doesn't change the fact that they are much more expensive than HDDs though still.

That's why I didn't spend much time researching this and verifying the prices. That post was less about the exact prices than the discrepancy between hard disk drives and solid state drives.

I hear you about that.  I just wanted to clarify for people so that they know, SSDs are more affordable now.  In fact, I'd say everyone who is building a new PC should include an SSD in their build.

If anyone wants to speed up their PC, the one that will do it better than anything else is an SSD.  Put your OS and the main program files on the drive and you will see an amazing difference.

I have recently got another 60Gb.  I''m going to raid 0 them for windows.  Can't be bothered formatting right now though. Will wait for Windows 8 and do it all at once.
