I am currently just using a small tv monitor... budget is under $300

Well It's all done! The new PC is humming with the Samsung SSD. Everything is installed on the SSD including WoW and it is running wonderfully. In addition, I returend the wifi booster and picked up a pair of Ethernet adapters...

Lol! I just re read the post and even I was confused.... I just bought the Sata III data cable and the SSD drive. I located the power cable in my PC. Can't wait for them to get here!!

It just completed, and received a pass.

Yes, I did take the quick test option... closing in on 15 minutes. However, when I opened the program, in the top window beside "capacity" under "SMART Status" it had a check mark and a PASS before I began running the test, if that means anything.
