All you really need is 32GB to install the OS (Win7 or linux). With that small amount you will experience a performance boost not match by upgrading memory or CPU. This happens because many big application tend to write to disk often, and that slows down the application.

So, my advice, if you have the money, get a 32GB which is the cheapest. Use the SSD for the OS only. And wait until prices come down. If what you need is large space, then go with the HDD. At the moment, comparing HDD and SSD is misguided.

I crapped myself...

Seriously guys... its cheap. Get into the time-machine. In 2000, $200
bought you a 40GB HD.

In 2000 they didnt had 15gb sized games
in 2000 they didnt have 20gb windows
and in 2000 next user contiune the rant
 
With SSD's your not just paying for the capacity, your paying for the speed. SSD's will eventually come down in price in the next couple of years. I'm also guessing that the SSD's capacity will catch up to HDD's in a couple of years time.
 

I don't know, got a HDD with a 200gb capacity for around 250$. That was about...2003 I think? Hell, when they had 200gb HDD's it was amazing, especially when the average pc owner only had 40-80gb to store things on.
