Any thoughts for a new mid range system?  I've got a few ideas so far for my Motherboard:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Asus+P5N-D+NVIDIA+nForce%D7+750i+&x=24&y=21

Processor:
 Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Quad-Core Processor, 2.40 GHz, 8M L2 Cache, LGA 775

Total specs?  The chip looks nice though - I'd still stick with a 3.0 dual-core but each his own.

This is a simply nothing more then a picture of a PC case - you can get it with an Intel chip, moron.

woho thats a big price +1682, im sure you get it cheaper look around at other places and im sure youll find you can get it cheaper with thise specs

[HardCore]

You mean you don't have to get Vista?  You mean I can put what ever I want on there.  Even Fedora?   

general YES, but there can occur some problems, if Vista is already installed.
many new hardware-drivers like for video card, network card and so r just supported by Vista. so if u set the computer up with XP, some drivers may not work => useless then, so be carefull

always watch out that the drivers r still working on the other OS. if yes, i don´t see a problem with changing the OS.

yh thats true and another thing with not having vista is that you can't play any games that requier DX 10 as Direct X10 is vista only so if your planning to play any games requiering DX 10 then be sure to get vista
