    It looks like you stayed with windows XP as well, a wise choice may I say as Vista is not a nice play thing.

    I like the large mesh front panel, whats the noise like from although fans??

    It's actually VERY quiet! I get a slight bit of rumble form all the air, but I actually hear the hard drives over anything else. I wasn't about try Vista.. I played w/ it once in the store and I wasn't pleased, I'm an old hand at XP, so I stayed w. it.

    And I also was VERY fed up w/ my old computer. It was an unreliable POS.. I considered this like supporting mods, why get a better camera w/ larger image sizes if the computer won't be able to handle it OR CS3!

    Wooo Hoooo! Congrats! clap.gif

    I run two comps, a desktop and my laptop and I iloveyou.gif both so I understand.

    Ahh the joy of high def and altec lansing speakers (I actually prefer them over HK). I should have the Transformers movie from Netflix soon, I didn't get a chance to see it in the theatres.

    You'll like the D80, I'm getting ready to sell mine because I just got the D300, but if I could afford to keep three dSLRs I would. Enjoy your new toys! cheerleader.gif

    I'd have slayed you on the bottom end w/ my old Dak RT. (Supercharged 408 Stroker was just the tip of the iceberg) You'd murder me on the top end though.

    I'm a poppa now and race puters now days. Gave up the fast ride for 2 fast ladies!:D
