Primary problem with that is the $1,000's in software that would have to be replaced.

We were just talking about that.
Just got back from a few hours of shopping and no buying. Looks like we will have to get it online since stores don't seem to have crap in the way of selection.
Looks like our requirements are going to be suitable for an extreme gaming machine.
7200 RPM HDD
4 GB RAM
Duo core processor(s) (over 2.0 GHz)
Under 7 lbs
14-15" monitor
I guess we will get docking stations for the external drives, monitor, speakers.
On-site (in store) repair mandatory.
Biggest hassle with stores is it is all Vista. I heard we can get XP if we order online. Otherwise I am thinking we can partition the drive to keep Vista on a small portion and use XP for the rest. Has anyone tried that?
Anyone have anything like this?
