I've settled on which Android Development Kit board to pickup. Having built a few projects with an Arduino before, i'm confident this kit will more than handle what i'm planning for.

Thanks FrEaKy!
Intel 320 120gb SSD's - Best Buy has them for $189 right now, Had $250 in Rewardzone certificates. So at Net $64.00 each I think it worked out great! Also picked up a USB 3.0 motherboard header for the Front Corsair USB 3.0 cable

Testing / stripping the modular sata power cable ( sole connection to sata backplane)
Mistakes, mistakes. But, lessons learned so all is well.
I finally found that cutting the length, setting the wrap on the sleeve first, then feeding it lends for a clean finish.

Overview / Goal:
This build is entirely for a VMware Workstation 8 focused system, built on Ubuntu.
At any given point there will be anywhere from 8-16 virtual machines in use with varying load / ram requirements so with prices the way they are, expect a lot of ram!
As an SSD convert...
I concur, even more so common were the *smokers* that had their pc's turn that dingy smoke stained color. I once saw a system that actually have a buildup of ash and fluids (guy used to put ash tray right on top of his pc), it had fallen onto the system and seeped through the fan. He didn't...
If you're a rewardzone silver member, call the support line (goes directly to a human) and often times if you're nice, they'll call the store and sort it or in exchange give you some free RZ giftcards.
I had a phone purchase that went on sale a day later at radioshack, the guy wouldn't honer...
I'm glad I got in at the $50 price, I was going to pick one up in June, but the $400 price tag was way too steep. It's still pending shipment according to their website, I hope they don't pull a fast one.
If anything, i'll use it as a larger screen to stream netflix at my desk.
I bought three copies of Skyrim for pc. Not sure why, only needed one as a gift. Worse part is I realized I had $80 in reward zone certificates.. after I purchased. Ah well.

Are you using VNC to connect to the VM via VMware, or are you runing directly to the Host? If directly to the host, are you using the built in screen sharing or a standalone vnc host?
The VM arguement (why use a Mac with VMs when you can use a PC) is a poor arguement against using a Mac. All of my developers here, Windows or Mac OS X, use virtual machines to complete their tasks.
I use a ThinkPad and a Macbook Pro Daily. I am partial to Mac OS due mostly to the OS and it's...
