1. Do you currently own an SSD and are you planning on purchasing one in the near future? If so, which brands are you considering (Intel, OCZ, Crucial, Kingston, Patriot Memory, Samsung, or other)?
Do not own one yet. I'm looking at the OCZ vertex but I haven't researched them all yet.
2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD (price, performance, brand, other)?
Performance vs price ratio is probably my top priority
3. How often do you purchase a new PC (less than a 1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?
I try to rebuild my PC every 3-4 years.
4. Do you prefer to build your own PC or buy a branded system (Build your own or Buy a branded system)?
Build of course!
5. How important do you feel an SSD is to system performance? (extremely important, pretty important, Not very important, no impact on performance)
Very important but I can't seem to upgrade mine yet. Too many other things to spend $$$ on.

1. Do you currently own an SSD and are you planning on purchasing one in the near future? If so, which brands are you considering (Intel, OCZ, Crucial, Kingston, Patriot Memory, Samsung, or other)?
A: I have never owned one. If I'm buying in the next few months, I would buy Crucial or Intel.
2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD (price, performance, brand, other)?
A: Performance, by far. Better read/write speeds for me.
3. How often do you purchase a new PC (less than a 1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?
A: I upgrade my computer about once a year.
4. Do you prefer to build your own PC or buy a branded system (Build your own or Buy a branded system)?
A: Build my own. Otherwise, I wouldn't be on this website.
5. How important do you feel an SSD is to system performance? (extremely important, pretty important, Not very important, no impact on performance)
A: Tantamount. Extremely important.
Another one I'll lose...
