It's really ridiculous, actually. Not awesome.
2000 pounds worth of ssd/hdd? Ludircrous.
Buy a Time Capsule, 3TB, costs about 320 pounds.
Buy an Intel 60 GB SSD for your operating system's drive. Costs 80 gbp.

I've had SSDs. Do not put valuable data on it. An OS you can restore.

Saves you 1600 GBP. Buy another Tosh hybrid SSD/HDD (8GB/500Gb or 750GB) or a normal 1TB Seagate or whatever. It'll only cost about 100 gbp.

Large data files should go on "near storage", just because of the costs involved.

Water cooler? Are you well in your head? I know it cools 10 times better than air, but water and electrics do not mix. It may be OK for a while, but in the long run an air cooled system will survive more likely than a water cooled one. Corrosion will eventually kill it, and who knows what else will go with it. Air cooled anytime.

I think you could build a very nice RAID with conventional drives that would not only cost less than £1,600, but will also provide better throughput, especially considering your RAID will degrade in performance as it fills up, even with TRIM.

I would use the extra money to upgrade the motherboard. That's just my opinion though.

Dude a 256GB SSD would be more than enough for you and some HDDs for backup.

Spending nearly 2,000 US dollars on a SSD is

You might as well buy a macbook retina.

OCZ? Bleh!!!

Get (2) Intel SSD, setup as RAID-0 if you want to splurge.
