This might be crazy, but what about picking up a 64 GB SSD for $80 and not caring if you burn it out in a few years? Put the temporary Internet files, Windows swap file, etc. on there.

My first forays into SSD-land have been a bit rocky. I bought an OCZ SSD a few months ago and it died within six days. A buddy of mine bought an OCZ and it died within a few weeks. I've had an Imation SSD corrupt completely forcing a Windows re-install. I've certainly had hard drives go bad over the years, but few and far in-between.
Part of my reluctance to go fully SSD is based on the fact that I don't particularly feel the technology is stable yet...or maybe I've just had some REALLY bad luck that has rubbed off on those around me.
