I've not had any more disk corruption, but I've also purposely not pushed my luck, logging out of Windows and letting the machine sit idle on the log in screen for a couple minutes before shutting down from there. Turns out a lot of motherboards cut the power to the expansion slots early. That keeps a PCIe based drive from being able to completely flush its buffers.
I got my BD XL burner. It did come with a 100 GB QL disc, don't know what I'll use that for yet, as they're hard to come by.
Also got my new video card. I settled on the nVidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti. Seemed the best price:performance ratio, and it is their newest (although not fastest) chip. Since the GPU compute instructions are more important to me than raw polygon pushing ability, I figured the newest chip with the highest compute version would be best suited.
Seems it pair well with my CPUs...
