First rice cooker.. What was I waiting for???
Without reading the instructions, we missed that one full "cup" is to the very top of the included measuring cup, not to the line. After we figured that out, every batch of rice has been perfect. Long rice, sushi rice (for sushi even), taboule, etc all cooks up beautifully and automatically. We can even put in other things - scallions, rice wine & soy sauce, etc - to get a more robust dish.

Viv 285's Rock!
I use these Vivitar flashes exclusively anymore because the price to performance ratio is just that good. They are just as powerful as an SB-900 or 580ex, but at about 1/10 the price.
The flashes are slow to recycle when the batteries start getting low, but you can solve that by replacing the 4x AA's with 1x 6v SLA battery (see one of many articles here: http://www.diyphotography.net/the-external-flash-power-that-will-last-till-hell-freezes)
With two cheap light stands and two cheap umbrellas and two cheap vivitar 285's, I feel like I'm getting just as good of photos as with monolights and softboxes.

It's a screamer...
This worked right out of the box with windows. I wanted to run 2 in a RAID 0, but Windows refused to see my raid controller and then it refused to work with it. Linux saw it automagically. There was no need to run benchmarks with Linux because everything happened instantly. Programs open before I'm really done clicking on them.
I haven't seen super high transfer rates - nothing more than about 200MB/s - but levels in Modern Warfare 3 load in under 10 seconds (easily) with full detail and programs like InDesign open very quickly.
Here's my experience as a gamer and a designer.
Core i5 OC'd to 3.2GHz (water cooling)
16GB RAM
2x of these
1x 750GB WD SATA HDD
Measly Nvidia 9600GT
GAMES like DXHR, MW3, and ACR don't perform much differently than they did before as far as frames. DXHR loads parts of levels as you progress, and this was so transparent, the only way I knew it was happening is because it stuttered for a few seconds back in the HDD days. Initial loads for games are down under 10 seconds (both opening and loading levels) across the board, so I'm not getting much more performance per se, just reducing and eliminating load times.
SOFTWARE like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator use my RAM drive as a swap area but also load much quicker. Windows loads in under 10 seconds (and is tweaked to do so) as well. Photoshop and After Effects support multithreading, so I'm seeing decent speedups across the board (eg previews in AE or the filter gallery in PS). AI and ID max out the CPU usage on pretty much every operation since there's no multithreading or hard drive to wait for. I was running PS, AI, and ID and switching to and from willie-nillie for a large project and using the Creative Suite as a suite is finally painless and quick. It's gotten to the point that I really despise using these programs at work because our Core i7 with 6GB's of RAM just doesn't have that SSD speed. My Adobe on the PC works faster than your Adobe on the Mac if you don't have an SSD, and that's saying something.
