Well, I forgot about that. But it does look like a really nice set.

And Windows 7 is still in a beta, I wouldn't use it for a main OS. I'd buy XP actually.

Please, don't buy XP. It's not even supported anymore, and it will become a virus hellhole in a couple of years, and it also doesn't make good use of the powerful hardware you're going to buy. Go with Windows 7 64 bit or Vista 64 bit, they are modern OSs and will make proper use of your hardware. Windows 7 is not in beta, it is a Release Candidate, meaning that it's not buggy, just missing features from the real release. If you want, you can go with Vista, or go with Windows 7. I would avoid XP though, anyone who says Vista is buggy or lacks drivers obviously only used it before SP1.

I just personally have bad experiences with Vista. But I actually didn't know that 7 was in RC1. When is RC2? Are they doing that?

No, the release is coming out this summer.

Personally, my experiences with Vista have been pretty good. The only thing that bugged me was that the menus were moved, but it wouldn't be hard to adjust.
